Parkers Farm is now yanking every single one of their products off the shelves! It seems that listeria got into just about everything they have. Even if you’re healthy, listeria will give you “high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea” just because it can. Plus it can “cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women”, which isn’t funny at all.
If you did some shopping at…
“Hy-Vee, Cub, Rainbow, Byerlys, Lunds, Target, Whole Foods, Jewel, Dominicks, Marsh, Price Chopper, Shop Rite, Nash Finch, Sams Club, Costco, Safeway, Kroger, Wal-Mart, [or] Aldi.”
…and picked up anything with a “Parker Farm or Parkers label” in the list below, you really should chunk it ASAP.
