Reason for recall
The firm was notified by their supplier that their recall on 5/23/2017 needs expanding due to additional finding of Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures. Infection is most dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can appear up to 70 days after eating contaminated food.
