What should I do if I have or have eaten a food thats been recalled because of Listeria?
Don’t eat any food that’s recalled and removed from grocery store shelves. Always return recalled food to the place where you bought it. For the latest product recalls, visit: Recalls.gov. The risk of a person developing a Listeria infection after consuming a contaminated product is very small. If you’ve eaten a contaminated product and you are pregnant, then contact your health-care provider. Otherwise, if you’ve eaten a contaminated product and do not have any symptoms, it’s not recommended that you have any tests or treatment, even if you are in a high-risk group. However, if you are in a high-risk group, have eaten the contaminated product, and within two months become ill with fever or signs of serious illness, you should see your health-care provider immediately.
