Treehouse Foods is recalling certain frozen toaster waffle, Belgian waffle, and pancake products due to potential Listeria contamination, but at foods.edu.vn, we’re here to provide you with clear and reliable information to navigate this situation. It’s essential to stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect your health and family.
1. What Prompted the TreeHouse Foods Recall?
TreeHouse Foods initiated a voluntary recall of specific frozen waffle and pancake products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This decision came after expanded testing at one of their manufacturing facilities revealed the presence of the bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations.
Understanding Listeria Monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a foodborne illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year, and about 260 die. The bacteria can be found in soil, water, and animal feces, and can contaminate various foods, especially ready-to-eat items.
Who is Most At Risk?
While anyone can contract listeriosis, certain groups are more susceptible to severe illness:
- Pregnant women: Listeria can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
- Newborns: Infants are particularly vulnerable to severe listeriosis.
- People aged 65 or older: Older adults are more likely to develop severe symptoms.
- People with weakened immune systems: Individuals with conditions like HIV/AIDS, cancer, or those undergoing immunosuppressive therapies are at higher risk.
Common Symptoms of Listeriosis
Healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms such as:
- High fever
- Severe headache
- Stiffness
- Nausea
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
Invasive listeriosis can spread beyond the gut and cause more severe complications, including:
- Meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord)
- Septicemia (blood poisoning)
If you experience these symptoms after consuming potentially contaminated products, seek medical attention immediately.
2. Which TreeHouse Foods Products Are Included in the Recall?
The recall includes a wide range of frozen toaster waffles, Belgian waffles, and pancake products manufactured at a single facility and still within their shelf life. These products were distributed throughout the United States and Canada under various brand names.
Identifying Recalled Products
To determine if you have any recalled products, check the following:
- Brand Name: Refer to the list of brand names associated with the recall.
- UPC Code: Locate the UPC code on the back of the carton and compare it to the list of recalled UPC codes.
- Lot Code and Best By Date: Find the Lot Code and Best By Date on the end of the carton. All Lot Codes in the scope of this recall will begin with 2C. The Best By Dates range from October 1, 2024, to October 11, 2025, and even up to April 11, 2026, for some Kodiak Cakes products.
