Treehouse Foods

What happened

Treehouse Foods is recalling certain griddle waffles sold under the Giant Eagle, H-E-B Higher Harvest, and Central Market brand names because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness. The affected products are 12-packs of buckwheat blueberry gluten-free waffles distributed across the USA and Canada.

Who is at risk

While anyone can get sick from Listeria, pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face the highest risk of serious illness.

What to do

Check your freezer for the recalled waffles using the UPC codes listed (030034944940, 041220708390, or 041220253654). If you have them, do not eat them—throw them away or return them to your store for a refund. Contact your doctor if you've eaten these waffles and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or gastrointestinal issues.
