Anyone who believes they have purchased one of the recalled products should not consume it and should throw it away, said the FDA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The product(s) involved is past its shelf life and should already be out of distribution, but if consumers have any product they question, do not consume it, but rather discard it,” they said.<\/p>\n

Pregnant women are especially at risk from listeria infections.\u00a0<\/span> (iStock \/ iStock)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria possibly contaminating the products, can cause listeriosis if consumed, said the website for the Centers for Disease Control.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0“An estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year, and about 260 die,” said the CDC.<\/p>\n

Those at the highest risk from listeria are “pregnant women and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems,” they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Listeria is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, said the CDC.<\/p>\n

“Infection during pregnancy results in fetal loss in about 20% of cases and newborn death in about 3% of cases,” they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other groups “rarely become seriously ill” when exposed to listeria, noted the CDC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not all foods are equally at risk of listeria contamination, said the CDC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The riskiest foods include sliced deli meats, soft cheeses, raw dairy products, and remade deli salads, they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
