Stew Leonard's Dairy Store announced Wednesday that it is voluntarily recalling 245 pounds of deli ham that may contain listeria monocytogenes.
Eating food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause high fever, severe headaches, neck stiffness, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea. The infection may be more serious or even fatal among young children, frail or elderly people, or those with weak immune systems.
Stew Leonard's said it was recalling Canadian Brand Maple Ham, produced by Russer Foods, that may contain listeria monocytogenes. There have been no illnesses associated with the product and Russer issued the recall as a cautionary measure, store officials said.
The ham was only sold at Stew Leonard's Norwalk store. The chain also has stores in Danbury and Yonkers, N.Y.
The product being recalled may have been sold to consumers at the deli department between Aug. 5 and Aug. 9, the company said.
Consumers who may have purchased the product should return it to the store for a full refund.
Consumers seeking more information can call toll-free 866-658-0019.
