Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious health issues. Symptoms may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, are at a higher risk. In pregnant women, Listeria can lead to serious complications such as premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or stillbirth. Severe cases can be fatal.
If you believe you have become ill from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
