According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Listeria infection (listeriosis) is a foodborne illness that typically affects children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems. However, in rare cases otherwise healthy adults can become infected as well.

Signs and symptoms of listeriosis include:

  • Nausea

If the infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms may include:

  • Headache
  • Stiff neck
  • Confusion or changes in alertness

No listeria infections or other illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the recall, Publix said.
