Officials say Listeria  can cause Listeriosis, which can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea, along with miscarriages and stillbirths. Listeriosis can also apparently manifest with serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. Giant says they haven’t received any illness reports to date.
