If you do have one of the impacted products in your home, it's best to sanitize your cooking surfaces and fridge with bleach and water to stop the spread.

About Listeria Infections

Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause severe and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten any recalled product and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical treatment and tell their doctors about possible Listeria exposure.

If you have eaten the recalled smoked salmon you should monitor yourself for symptoms during the coming weeks. It can take up to 70 days after exposure for symptoms to develop.

Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.

Pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and people who have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-threatening infections, other complications, and death.
