About Listeria<\/h2>\n

Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in animals eating the products.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.<\/p>\n

Healthy people infected with Listeria monocytogenes should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, aches, fever, and diarrhea.<\/p>\n

Listeria monocytogenes infections can cause\u00a0serious<\/strong>\u00a0andsometimes fatal<\/strong>\u00a0infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.<\/p>\n

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause\u00a0miscarriages<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0stillbirths<\/strong>\u00a0among\u00a0pregnant women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.<\/p>\n

Pets with Listeria monocytogenes infections are rare, and pets may display symptoms such as mild to severe diarrhea, anorexia, fever, nervous, muscular and respiratory signs, abortion, depression, shock, and death.<\/p>\n

In addition to the possibility of becoming sick, such infected animals can shed Listeria monocytogenes through their feces onto their coats and into the home environment and thus serve as sources of infection to humans and other animals in the household.<\/p>\n

If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.<\/p>\n
