No illnesses have been reported so far, but health officials warn that Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. For healthy individuals, symptoms typically include fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Pregnant women face additional risks as Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that Listeria causes about 1,600 cases and 260 deaths annually in the United States, making it the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness.
Wegmans has placed automated calls to customers who purchased the affected products using their Shoppers Club cards. Customers are advised not to consume the recalled products and can return them to any Wegmans service desk for a full refund.
