Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The recalling firm is based in Black Mountain, NC. The recall covers 161 cases distributed (25 oz bags), 168 Cases distributed (44 oz. bags) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jan 17, 2018), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
