Reser's Fine Foods of Beaverton, Ore., is voluntarily expanding its October recall of refrigerated ready-to-eat foods due to possible Listeria, officials say.
The recalled products -- various sizes of refrigerated ready-to-eat salads were produced at the Topeka, Kan., salad manufacturing facility. No other Reser's Fine Foods Inc. manufacturing facilities are involved in this recall, company officials said.
Listeria can cause serious and sometime fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and individuals with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may suffer only short term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
