Massive Waffle Recall Includes Oneonta, New York

TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) is voluntarily recalling specific frozen waffle products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause serious, and at times fatal, infections, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. In healthy people, it typically causes short-term symptoms like high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. However, infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriages or stillbirths.

The recalled products were distributed across the United States and Canada under various brand names. Consumers and retailers can identify affected products by checking the UPC on the back of the carton, along with the Lot Code and Best By Date, located on the end of the carton.
