Purchasers or consumers of duckling may wish to ask restaurants or places where they consume duckling if the product or meal contains the recalled product. The company notified FSIS of a positive Listeria monocytogenes test result and initiated a recall. Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis.
Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, and nausea.
FSIS has received no reports of illness associated with consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician. Thoroughly reheating food can help kill any bacteria that might be present. If you cannot reheat these foods, do not eat them. Also wash cutting boards, dishes, and utensils.
