Listeria affects over 1500 people per year, and kills over 250 people annually, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the listeria bacteria usually only causes fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it can be very dangerous for children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems. It is also particularly dangerous for pregnant women, who are 10 times more likely to become infected. It can cause stillbirths or miscarriages and can also be passed on to the developing fetus.
People who have purchased recalled products are urged to discard them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Those with questions can reach Mann Packing at their 24-hour consumer line, 888-470-2681, or visit veggiesmadeeasy.com/products.
