TreeHouse Foods issued a voluntary recall last Friday for its frozen waffle products that are sold at many retailers across the U.S. and Canada due to the products being linked to a potential listeria contamination.

TreeHouse Foods told USA TODAY that the issue was found at one of their manufacturing facilities.

"This issue was discovered through routine testing at our manufacturing facility in Brantford, Ontario, Canada," Howard Karesh, a spokesperson for TreeHouse Foods, said in a statement. "There have been no confirmed reports of illnesses or injuries linked to the recalled products."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in its recall alert that listeria monocytogenes is “an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems."

What is listeria? What are the symptoms of a listeria infection?

Listeria is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be very harmful for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and people who are immunosuppressed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.

The CDC said that listeria infections are the third leading cause of death from a foodborne illness in the United States.

Invasive (spread beyond the intestines) symptoms are:

  • Fever

  • Flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue

  • Headache

  • Stiff neck

  • Confusion

  • Loss of balance

The government agency said that invasive illness symptoms usually appear two weeks after consuming foods that are contaminated with listeria.
