However, Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infections, especially in older adults, pregnant women and newborns, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. In pregnant women, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, or severe illness in newborns.

๐Ÿ—‘️ What should you do now?

FSIS urges consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers immediately. If you have any of these products, do not eat them. Instead:

✅ Throw them away, or
✅ Return them to the store for a refund.
