Fresh Ideation Food Group LLC has issued a recall of more than 400 products, including ready-to-eat sandwiches, wraps, fruit, yogurt, desserts and salads, sold in nine states and the District of Columbia. The contamination is due to elevated levels of listeria, an organism which can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. While healthy individuals may only experience short-term, mild symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The recall, announced on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website Friday is for products sold from the 24th of January to the 30th of January from retail locations, vending machines, and during travel with transportation providers. A full list of recalled brands and identifiers has
