Knotts Fine Foods Inc is recalling approximately 161 units of Egg Salad and Tuna Salad because they may contain Listeria monocytogenes. This recall was initiated after Almark Foods, a supplier, notified the company that eggs used as an ingredient in these salads were potentially contaminated. The affected products include 12lb buckets of Egg Salad and 5lb buckets of Tuna Salad distributed in Mississippi and Tennessee. If you have these products, you should return them to the place of purchase for a refund, throw them away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
The salads may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
