Health & scope note

Listeria symptoms (fever, headache, body aches) can appear up to eight weeks after eating a contaminated product. If you ate an affected product and develop fever, headache or body aches, contact a doctor and mention the product. Pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems should be particularly alert to these symptoms. STEC illness can cause bloody diarrhea and, in a minority of cases, severe kidney complications — especially in children; seek care promptly if symptoms appear after eating a matching product. Match the market, exact product, lot/VIN/model and date. Dates are in 2026 unless stated otherwise.
