Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, experts said.
Healthy people with Listeria monocytogenes might suffer from high fever, headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, officials said.
Listeria monocytogenes can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women, officials said.
Elevation Foods officials said fewer than 1,087 cases of the affected products were shipped to retail warehouses throughout the United States.
No illnesses have been reported, company officials said.
Elevation Foods identified the possible issue after receiving positive test results for three containers of affected egg salad, which were sampled by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, company officials said.
Elevation Foods is continuing to investigate the potential source of the problem.
