The Listeria contamination was discovered after routine testing occurred at the company’s manufacturing facility. Symptoms of Listeria infections include fever, vomiting, nausea, headaches and neck stiffness. Elderly people, young children, those with weakened immune systems and people who are pregnant are most at risk of life-threatening illness due to Listeria

Fortunately, there have been no reported illnesses due to the contamination. If you experience symptoms of Listeria infection after consuming any of the recalled waffles, you should contact your health care provider. 

If you have purchased any of the listed products, you are advised to return them to the place of purchase. If you have any questions regarding the recall, you can contact the company at 800-596-2903, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m CST.
