The health department said Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that may cause serious infections for those with weakened immune systems; healthy people will likely experience short-term symptoms like a headache or fever.

The products should be thrown away or returned to the store of purchase for a full refund.

Those with questions can contact Chang Farm at 413-522-0234 or 413-222-5519.

Anyone with illness concerns should contact their healthcare provider.
