Why this matters: *Listeria monocytogenes* can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations. Even if the product appears safe, the risk of listeriosis warrants immediate action if you possess the recalled item.
On April 10, 2025, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. initiated a voluntary recall after a routine test by the Georgia Department of Agriculture detected *Listeria monocytogenes* in a sample from one lot of Marketside celery sticks sold at Walmart stores.
*Listeria monocytogenes* is a bacterium that can thrive even in cold temperatures, like refrigerators. Infection (listeriosis) can lead to severe symptoms including high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Who This Affects Most:
While healthy individuals might experience only short-term symptoms, listeriosis poses a significant threat to:
Young children
Elderly individuals
People with weakened immune systems (e.g., due to illness or medication)
Pregnant women (infection can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth)
