Although healthy individuals may 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.
The FDA is recalling all of the products manufactured at the same facility and distributed to both wholesalers and retailers.
Some of the hummus and dips being recalled are sold at Target and Trader Joes.
The following products are included in the recall:
