This bacteria can cause listeriosis, which is a rare but severe infection that can affect elderly individuals, pregnant people, newborns, and those who have a compromised immune system. USDA says if you have this product in your home, it should be thrown away as soon as possible, or return the possible contaminated product to the place where you purchased it. Fever, headache, flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and seizures are the symptoms that usually happen two weeks after eating the contaminated product. Texans are told to take this recall very seriously due to it being very detrimental to their health.
