Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria behind listeria infections, can cause serious symptoms, particularly in vulnerable groups. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms may include fever, headaches, muscle aches, confusion, stiff neck, fatigue, and in some cases, seizures or difficulty walking. Pregnant people, newborns, seniors, and individuals with weakened immune systems are especially at risk of severe illness.

Consumers who believe they may have consumed a recalled product and are experiencing any symptoms should seek medical attention. The recall is part of an ongoing commitment by health authorities and manufacturers to maintain food safety and protect the public from potential health threats.
