Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometime deadly illnesses in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA.
Listeriosis symptoms can start within two weeks after consuming contaminated food and may include fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. Severe cases can lead to headaches, stiff neck, confusion, and convulsions.
Anyone who thinks they may have eaten the affected peaches and is showing symptoms to contact a healthcare provider.
