No confirmed reports of reactions after eating the products has been found, but people concerned about an illness are urged to contact a health care provider. Consumption of food contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, a 'serious' infection that especially affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women and their newborns, the agency wrote. People outside of these risk groups are less commonly affected. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms can also occur. For pregnant woman, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. Serious or fatal infections can occur in older adults and people with weakened immune systems, according to the USDA. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics. People at higher-risk experiencing flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food, are advised to seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.
