According to the recall, the contamination was discovered when Alexander & Hornung notified FSIS that a product sampling had positive Listeria monocytogenes results. Thus far, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these foods. However, FSIS is concerned that some consumers may unknowingly have these products in their refrigerators or freezers. Additionally, consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. Instead, these products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS notes that eating food contaminated with Listeria (L. monocytogenes) can cause listeriosis—a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Listeriosis symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal symptoms. The infection can also spread beyond the gastrointestinal tract, and can lead to serious complications for pregnant women. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics. People in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care. Consumers with questions can also call the Alexander & Hornung Consumer Hotline at 1-866-866-3703.
