Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause serious infections in people who eat contaminated food. Infection can lead to fever, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, or more severe complications like meningitis and septicemia, particularly in vulnerable populations.

Who’s affected

Consumers who donated to the Snow Monkey Kickstarter campaign and received an 8oz pod of Subzero Superfood Goji Berry between May and June 2016 are affected.
