The agency says the affected products should not be eaten and should either be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Food contaminated with listeria can cause vomiting, nausea, fever, muscle aches, severe headaches and neck stiffness, and in severe cases even death.

The recall was triggered by test results. The agency said no illnesses have been reported in connection with the products.
