Distributor Lyons Magnus recalled 4 ounce (oz) frozen supplemental shakes sold under the brands Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial after an on-site inspection by the FDA found a strain of listeria at the manufacturing facility closely related to the one involved in the outbreak. Products affected by the recall are no longer being sold, the company said.
The shakes came in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. They were not available to the general public at retail stores.
Listeria Infection Can Be Fatal for Vulnerable Groups
Mild symptoms of listeriosis can include:
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Nausea
- Tiredness
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
If listeriosis becomes severe, symptoms may include:
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Confusion
- Loss of balance
- Convulsions
Most people who become infected experience a brief, mild illness, but people with autoimmune disease and those older than 65 can develop deadly infections.
Pregnant people who develop listeriosis may experience flu-like symptoms, but are also at risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature delivery, as well as life-threatening infections in their newborns.
Seek medical care immediately if you have symptoms of listeriosis.
