If you have the recalled salads, you’re being told not to eat them and to throw them away immediately.

Listeria can cause serious infections that could be deadly in young children, frail or elderly people, or those with weakened immune systems. Some symptoms of listeria infection include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can cause miscarriages and stillbirths if a pregnant woman is infected by the bacteria, the FDA said.
