According to the FDA, Hormel Foods Sales, LLC has voluntarily recalled a limited number of two PLANTERS products:

The organization said that the products, which were produced at one of its facilities in April, were potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the symptoms of Listeria, a potentially deadly infection, include the following:

• Fever
• Headache
• Chills
• Upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Nausea and vomiting
• Muscle aches
• Loss of balance
• Confusion
• Convulsions (muscle contractions that one cannot control)

Per the FDA, the recall impacts two retailers in five states:

• At Publix distribution warehouses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina
• To Dollar Tree distribution warehouses in South Carolina and Georgia

People are advised to throw out any affected products or return them to the store for a full refund.
