Alexander & Hornung, of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, a business unit of Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc., has recalled 234,391 pounds of cooked ham and pepperoni that may be contaminated with listeria.
According to the FSIS, listeria can cause listeriosis, “a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics.”
