Luckily, the recall was issued as a precaution; although these products could potentially be contaminated with the bacteria, which can cause severe symptoms in pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, no illnesses have been reported yet. That said, if you think you've purchased one of the recalled items, do not eat it. Instead, you can return it to the store from which you purchased it, for a full refund (or just throw it away).
Symptoms of listeria infection include diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. In healthy adults, these symptoms should abate on their own, but make sure to be in touch with your doctor if you do get sick.
