If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor.

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

Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth.

Severe cases of the illness can lead to death.

You can’t see, smell or taste Listeria on food so it’s difficult to know if a product is contaminated. To avoid illness, throw away recalled products or return them to the place of purchase.
