"Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women," the FDA said in a press release.
Stop & Shop said there have been no reports of illnesses yet. Anyone who bought the recalled hummus should throw out any unused portions, and bring their receipt back to the store for a full refund.
