    Listeria is a bacteria that can cause serious illness. The FDA says symptoms of infection can include high fever, headache, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, stiffness and more.

    Pregnant people, newborns, older adults and those with weak immune systems are most at risk. In serious cases, listeria can lead to death.

    If you have eaten one of the recalled products and develop symptoms, the FDA advises contacting your doctor right away.
