Green Valley Food Corp. and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a voluntary recall of a variety of Green Valley's products because they may contain Listeria monocytogens. During a random sampling, various food products tested positive for Listeria monocytogens. Descriptions of the recalled products are listed below.
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, or others with weakened immune systems. Among pregnant women, listeria infections can cause miscarriages and stillbirths. Healthy individuals typically suffer from short-term symptoms such as stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, high fever, and headaches. If you or someone you know is experiencing any symptoms of listeriosis you should contact your physician.
