What happened

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling certain Amish potato salad products because they contain onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful bacteria. The onions came from a supplier, Gills Onions, that issued their own recall for the same contamination concern.

Who is at risk

This is particularly concerning for pregnant women, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, though anyone could potentially get sick from Listeria.

What to do

Check your home for the recalled products using the UPC codes listed and do not eat them. If you have consumed this product and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or gastrointestinal issues, contact your doctor and mention the potential Listeria exposure.
