To date, no illnesses have been associated with the recall, the FDA said.

The recall includes the following code dates currently in stores or consumers’ freezers listed here on this page from the FDA.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that 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 infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Any consumers concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
