Why are these Beef Jerky products being recalled?

As per the official report, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) found Listeria monocytogene bacteria in the products during their routine checks.

In their publicized report, FSIS stated:

“Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.”

What is Listeria?

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may cause fever, nausea, muscle aches, and diarrhea. According to the Mayo Clinic, it may take around 30 days to manifest. Upon reaching the nervous system, the infection may cause headaches, loss of balance, and uncontrollable shaking of the body.

The infection can cause the most damage to pregnant women, older people, or people with a compromised immune system. For pregnant women, the infection may only showcase very mild symptoms. However, the fetus can also get the infection. In this case, it may result in a miscarriage and premature birth.
