Consumption of foods contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can lead to listeriosis, a serious infection that mainly impacts older adults and those with weakened immune systems, the USDA reported. 

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consumers linked to the recalled products, the USDA said. 

The USDA said the products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
