The risk of a healthy adult becoming ill is very small. Short-term symptoms include headache, fever, stiffness nausea, cramping and diarrhea. But the young, frail, elderly and those with compromised immune systems are more susceptible. The bacterium is especially dangerous if eaten by pregnant women as it can cause miscarriages and still births.
According to the CDC, approximately 2,500 people per year become seriously ill with listerosis and of those 500 die. As of this posting, no one has yet come forward claiming to be ill from the tainted products.
The recalled products, which number in the dozens, include peanut butter, bagel spreads, dips, cheeses and salsas. For a complete list of products, please visit the FDA's website.
Consumers with questions can call Parkers Farm directly at (800) 869-6685.

MAYBE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY DIED ? YOU THINK THE FDA OR IT'S GOVERNMENT CLONIES ARE GOING TO EXPOSE THIS INFORMATION JEOPARDINZING THEIR COMPETENCE. AMERICAN OPINION ALREADY FROWNS UPON THIS REGIME WHO HAVE CAUSED NOTHOING BUT KAOS OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS..............

1-12-2010 @3:43PM snugabugl said... Of course no one has reported anything. When people get sick, they don't go running out to get tested for listeria.

1-12-2010 @5:31PM J.P. said... John, does your last name happen to be Walton? As in the Walton's who own WalMart?
Despite our country going through some horrendous changes right now, Anna, or any other US citizen, has the right to free speech.
That is until some government official decides to 'get over it' and take that freedom away from us as well!
1-12-2010 @5:20PM Max said... Shop at Kroger!!
Reply
1-12-2010 @5:31PM J.P. said... Sorry Max....Kroger also is listed in the recall info about the cheeses, spreads, peanut butter and salsa. Go to the FDA's website and see all the names of the stores!
1-12-2010 @6:42PM LeeAnnetteJ said... Kroger rocks!!!! :)
1-13-2010 @9:31AM Sickofidiots said... How idiotic that someone blamed Wal-mart... They carry the same toys and foods that everbody else does. No retailer wants to have its goods recalled. And no manufacturer of goods wants its goods to be reputed as tainted in any way. But it happens - usually because of some human error at the point of orgin.

Do I think the FDA would expose this information? Yes, because they did. Follow the link in the article. And for the record, the CDC you quote is a government agency also.

1-13-2010 @12:09AM bill said... ha! yet again the pasteurized-not the raw dairy product-is recalled, the states that ban raw milk/raw cheese are looking dumber everyday. and i do commend walmart on their decision against RBsT.

1-13-2010 @8:14AM Steve said... Here are the store affected: Hy-Vee, CUB, Rainbow, Byerlys Lunds, Target, Whole Foods, Jewel, Dominicks, Marsh, Price Chopper, Shop rite, Nash Finch, Sam’s Club, Costco, Safeway.
The recall isn't limited to just cheese or the Parker Brand. Other names made by Parker and other types of foods are included in the recall.
Look it up. http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm197101.htm
