Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

All retail stores and wholesalers who have this lot in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, should remove these products from their shelves. Consumers should not consume the products and should discard this product or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider with any illness concerns.
In case you are experiencing Listeria monocytogenes symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
