RELATED STORIES
FSIS claimed that the Kraft Heinz turkey bacon product was shipped nationwide and exported to Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands.
As of June 3, there have been no confirmed reports of harmful reactions associated with the consumption of the turkey bacon product.
“FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers,” FSIS stated. “Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
Symptoms of Listeria
The FSIS noted that consuming foods contaminated with Listeria can cause listeriosis, an infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
Additionally, the infection can impact pregnant women by causing miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
Listeriosis can also be a serious and sometimes fatal infection for older adults and persons with weakened immune systems.
People in high-risk categories who have experienced flu-like symptoms within two months of consuming contaminated food are urged to seek medical attention and can be treated with antibiotics.
