The USDA advises those who may have purchased the items to check their freezer and throw away the affected products or return them to the store where they were purchased.
Listeria can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. It affects older adults, those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns, according to the USDA.
