Lipari Foods has advised consumers who might have purchased any of the recalled sandwich products to either dispose of them in a safe manner or to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The products were distributed by Lipari Foods on January 3, 2020. Retailers and foodservice industries who received sandwiches from Lipari Foods should verify the Lot # and UPC #’s to verify that the potentially contaminated products are not still up for sale. The full list of the updated recalled products can be found in the

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause a serious infection called

Listeriosis

; those most prone to contracting the infection are people of advanced age, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis can cause symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and sometimes gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. According to a

National Listeria Lawyer

,

Ron Simon

, the first symptoms Listeriosis can present themselves as early as a few days after ingesting the contaminated food or as long as 30 days after. In more severe cases the infection can spread to the nervous system and cause symptoms such as headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions. Those who have eaten food contaminated with listeria should contact a health care provider and inform them of the potential exposure.
