Muffins sold at 7-Eleven stores, other shops recalled over listeria risk

Give and Go Prepared Food has issued a nationwide recall of certain muffin products over potential listeria contamination.

Healthy individuals might 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, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Canadian manufacturer's recall is limited solely to the products listed below, which have been sold in retail stores nationwide. No other Give & Go products are affected, and this recall does not affect products in countries other than the United States.
