Symptoms of listeria include high fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea. Listeria can cause potentially fatal infections among young children, older adults, pregnant adults, as well as those with weakened immune systems. So far, the FDA said, customers have not yet reported any illnesses.
AFC is the latest company to recall food due to listeria: Last week, Walmart recalled over 21,000 pounds of a popular pizza sold in stores after the manufacturer flagged potential contamination.
