Newsweek has reached out to Totally Cool Inc. for further comments regarding this recall. Listeria infections can lead to serious health issues, including food poisoning. Symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
For individuals at higher risk, such as the young, elderly, and those with compromised immune systems, listeria infections can be particularly severe. Most healthy individuals, however, tend to recover fully. Staying informed and cautious is key to ensuring your health and safety when enjoying food products.
