Reason for Recall:

The recall has been initiated due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious health complications. The affected products are being pulled from shelves as a precautionary measure to prevent consumers from exposure to this potentially harmful microorganism.

About Listeria monocytogenes:
Listeria can be particularly dangerous because it may not alter the appearance, taste, or smell of contaminated food. Even if a product looks safe to eat, it can still pose a risk of illness. Consumption of contaminated food can lead to listeriosis, a serious infection with a range of symptoms.

Who is at Risk?
Pregnant women, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of severe illness. For pregnant women, the infection could result in serious complications, including premature birth, infection of the newborn, or stillbirth. In extreme cases, Listeria infection can be fatal.

What You Should Do:

• Do not consume, sell, serve, or distribute these recalled products.
• Check your pantry for these items, and if found, either throw them out or return them to the store where they were purchased.
• If you suspect illness after consuming these waffles, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
