GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.,
Oct. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Meijer is announcing a recall of various packaged Meijer
brand produce items due to a potential contamination with
Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious
and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly
people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy
individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms like high fever,
severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, a
Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and
stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recall affects the following products sold in Meijer stores
in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin purchased September 27, 2017 through October 20, 2017. The items will be in
plastic containers or foam trays with printed labels with various
sizes and weights.
