What happened

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling Taco Pasta Salad because it contains onions from Gills Onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness. This is a precautionary measure due to the onion supplier's recall.

Who is at risk

People who are pregnant, elderly, very young children, or have weakened immune systems are at highest risk, though anyone can become ill from Listeria.

What to do

Check if you have either of the recalled products (UPC codes 0 11596 52076 6 or 0 11596 52065 0) and do not eat them. Throw them away or return them to your store for a refund. Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or nausea within 2 weeks of eating the product.
