More from the press release:

Listeria is a common organism found in nature. Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea, which can arise up to several weeks after consumption. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.

Customers who have these products should discard them and bring their purchase receipt to any Stop & Shop for a full refund. Customers looking for additional information may call

Stop & Shop Corporate Brands toll free line at 1-877-846-9949. Consumers may also visit our website at www.StopandShop.com or contact State Garden at 1-888-841-6191 for more information. If customers have any health concerns, they should contact their doctor.
