NPR reports:

Listeria has been a major point of concern in the U.S. this year. A series of outbreaks — largely tied to deli meat — has killed 10 people across 19 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Sept. 25. More than 11 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry items have also been recalled as a result.

Listeria infections typically cause flu-like symptoms, like fever, headache, and fatigue. The bacteria can be especially serious and possibly fatal for older adults, people with weakened immune systems, newborns and those who are pregnant.

The most common way to get infected is by eating food contaminated with listeria. Symptoms can appear as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks later, according to the CDC. Depending on the severity of the infection, some people can recover on their own, while others may need antibiotics.

TreeHouse Foods said customers should check their freezers for any products listed in the recall here. Those with recalled products should throw them out or return them to the grocery for credit.
