The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says around 1,600 people get listeriosis every year, resulting in about 260 deaths. It is most likely to sicken pregnant women and their newborns, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems.

Although there have not been any confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions from eating the products, the FSIS is urging anyone who has the affected items to throw them out or return them from where they were purchased.
