What happened

Garden-Fresh Amish Country Cole Slaw has been recalled because it contains onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause illness. The onions came from a supplier, Gills Onions, that issued their own recall for the same reason.

Who is at risk

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

What to do

If you purchased this cole slaw (check the UPC 0 11596 53010 9), do not eat it—throw it away or return it to the store. Watch for symptoms like fever, muscle aches, and nausea over the next few weeks, and contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
