More Listeria Concerns Cause Recall at New York Supermarkets

Don't be surprised if you can't find your favorite salad or pasta on store shelves in New York.

Listeria is causing another recall and New York supermarkets have temporarily removed the products out of an abundance of caution.

Listeria Side Effects

Listeria is a bacteria that is especially harmful for pregnant women, seniors citizens, or anyone with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms usually begin about 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria. However, the CDC says it may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks.

If anyone experiences the following symptoms they are asked to call their healthcare provider right away:

Fever
Muscle aches
Tiredness
Headache
Stiff neck
Confusion
Loss of balance
Seizures

Listeria can cause pregnancy loss, premature birth, serious illness or death in newborns.

Hannaford Recall

Select fresh salads and pasta meals sold in Hannaford Supermaret produce and deli departments have been removed after notification from its manufacturer of potential Listeria contamination.

The products were available for sale from September 23 through October 1, 2024.

Top 10 Most Recalled Food Items & How To Stay Safe

The CDC estimates that 48 million people in the U.S. are infected by a food-borne illness every year, and an average of 3000 people even die.

These are the top 10 foods most likely to be recalled, according to Consumer Reports. However, that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy them if you take steps to stay safe.
