Who is at risk

This recall is most serious for pregnant women, newborns, elderly people, and anyone with a weakened immune system, though the bacteria can affect anyone who consumes contaminated food.

What to do

Check your home for the recalled pasta salad (look for the product codes listed) and do not eat it. Throw it away or return it to the store where you bought it. If you've eaten this product and feel sick, contact your doctor.
