Health Canada noted that food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.

Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.

Pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk, Health Canada said. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
