The products were shipped to retail stores in three local states: New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. They were packaged on dates ranging from October 25, 2023 through November 20, 2023, meaning that customers in the state have been purchasing these products for the better part of the last month.

As stated by the USDA, coming into contact with the bacteria mentioned above can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

Symptoms of infection can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and other symptoms that don't bear repeating in this article.

So, when you return to your home today, check your refrigerator and freezer for the Pelleh label, and unfortunately, if you have these products, they'll need to find their way into the trash can immediately.
