The expiration dates are located on the back of each of the packages. The items involved were shipped nationwide.

The problem was discovered when the establishment reported to FSIS that it received confirmation from their third-party lab that a product contact surface sample returned as positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, which mainly affects people with weakened immune systems, older people, pregnant people, and newborns. So far, no injuries have been reported.

Symptoms of listeria include:

- fever
- muscle aches
- headache
- stiff neck
- confusion
- loss of balance
- convulsions
- diarrhea
- gastrointestinal symptoms

If you have questions or concerns, call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (EST) Monday through Friday.
