"The recall was initiated after the company's environmental samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes," Fresh Ideation Food Group said in a statement.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), eating foods contaminated with listeria bacteria can cause a serious infection that can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting.
