Listeria infection (AKA listeriosis) has somecommon symptomsincluding fever, muscle aches and tiredness. Symptoms like headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and seizures can occur in more severe cases.
While listeriosis is not usually life-threatening, it can be especially dangerous if you are age 65 or older, immunocompromised or currently pregnant. Listeriosis can cause pregnancy complications, including pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause severe illness or death in infected newborns.
Call your health care provider immediately if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms after consuming any affected products. Listeria can easily spread to other food and surfaces and can survive at refrigerated temperatures, so after disposing of any impacted foods, carefully follow theFDA’s safe handling and cleaning procedures.
