Food safety research into Listeria in frozen waffles and pancakes leads to an extensive recall

Treehouse Foods has updated its October 21 recall of several brands of frozen waffles and pancakes with additional products. The affected products are being recalled from the market due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall was expanded after additional information was identified during the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) food safety investigation.

According to the CFIA, the recalled products were distributed nationally in Canada.

About Listeria infections
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell putrid, but it can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten recalled waffles and developed symptoms of a Listeria infection should seek medical attention and tell their doctor about the possible exposure to Listeria.

Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms in the coming weeks, as it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop.

Symptoms of a Listeria infection may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headaches, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are needed to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other diseases.

Pregnant women, the elderly, young children and people such as cancer patients with weakened immune systems are at particular risk of serious illness, life-threatening infections, other complications and death. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to preterm labor, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
