Pinnacle Foods Inc. is voluntarily recalling all \u201cBest By\u201d dates of Aunt Jemima Frozen Pancakes, Frozen Waffles & Frozen French Toast Slices distributed nationally in the United States and one product into Mexico because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. No illnesses have been reported.<\/p>\n
Pinnacle Foods initiated the recall after testing indicated the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the plant environment.<\/p>\n
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.<\/p>\n
All affected distributors and retail and food service customers are being notified and the affected products are being removed from store shelves.<\/p>\n
This announcement applies only to the Aunt Jemima frozen products listed and does not include any Aunt Jemima dry mixes and syrups.<\/p>\n
