As a reminder, consumers who have purchased any of the affected products are urged NOT to consume them.

The product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. To date, the Department has not received any local reports of injuries or illnesses associated with the use of these potentially affected products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact their healthcare provider.

The products are part of the import ban issued by the USFDA due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria monocytogenes infection may cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
