TreeHouse Foods Inc., has expanded its voluntary recall to include all products manufactured at one facility and still within their shelf-life. The recall is expanded to include frozen toaster waffle, Belgian waffle and pancake products, due to the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenesis an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea. Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Recalled products were distributed throughout all states and provinces within United States and Canada and packed in various formats. Consumers and retailers can identify the UPC on the back of the carton, and the Lot Code and Best by Date for these products (ranging from 12 to 18 months, depending on the product) on the end of the carton.
This recall was expanded based on additional testing at the manufacturing facility. There have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the recalled products to date. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers should check their freezers for any of the products listed above and dispose of them or return the recalled product to the place of purchase for credit. This recall is being carried out with the knowledge of US Food and Drug Administration and Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
