Listeria is a bacteria that can cause those infected to experience a headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, convulsion, fever, and muscle aches, with more serious complications for pregnant women, young children and the elderly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Symptoms usually occur one to four weeks after consuming contaminated food, but could start as soon as the same day or up to 70 days later.
