Listeria is a species of bacteria that can be found in moist environments including soil and water and can survive refrigeration and other food preservation measures, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, vomiting and diarrhea, according to the USDA. It can be especially serious for vulnerable populations including young children and the elderly.
Give and Go Prepared Foods has not received any reports of illness related to the issue.
The recall includes 26 products in total that include individually wrapped muffins as well as packs of two, three or a dozen baked goods. The full list of muffins involved in the recall can be found here.
Customers who have these products should dispose of them immediately and can verify the product by checking the lot code on the package.
