The HoneyBaked company is recalling 46,941 lbs of their turkey and ham products due to a concern that the meat could cause be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes cooked, glazed and sliced ham and turkey, all of which was produced between September 5 and November 13. The meat in question was sold in and around the Toledo, Ohio area and was also distributed across the country through internet and catalog orders. There have been no reports of illness yet, but listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women, infants and the elderly, or those with preexisting health conditions. It can cause fever, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing and can trigger miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as opening the door for more serious diseases. It is most commonly found in unpasturised milk and unpasturised milk products (like some cheeses) and prepackaged deli meats and hot dogs.
