What happened

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling two reduced fat mustard 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

Anyone who consumed these products could be at risk, especially pregnant women, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

What to do

Check your refrigerator for these products and do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store. If you ate this potato salad and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or nausea within a few weeks, contact your doctor and mention the potential Listeria exposure.
