There have been no reported illnesses, but listeria can be fatal and is particularly dangerous to people with weakened immune systems, including infants, the elderly and people with HIV or those who are undergoing chemotherapy.

Officials urge those who purchased the potentially tainted product, which carries a bag and box code of B256-46438-8, to throw it out.
