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

Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

Pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.
