The Food Safety and Inspection Service conducted routine tests that ultimately confirmed that ready-to-eat products contain listeria. Symptoms of listeria infection include fever, vomiting, nausea, headaches, and stiff neck. Elderly people, young children, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant people are most at risk of life-threatening illness from listeria.
