The recall follows routine testing at the company’s manufacturing facility, which identified the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause severe infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. In healthy individuals, exposure may lead to temporary symptoms like fever, headache, and gastrointestinal distress, but it can result in serious complications such as miscarriages in pregnant women.

Brands included, but not limited to, are many store brands, including Giant’s store brand, Food Lion, Giant Eagle, Hannaford, Harris Teeter, HEB, Park Kodiak City, Simple Truth, Publix, and Walmart’s Great Value brand. Consumers should check the UPC, Lot Code, and Best By Date on the product packaging to determine if their frozen waffles are part of the recall. To view images of the affected items, visit the company’s website. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products so far, but customers are advised to discard the products or return them to the point of purchase for a refund.

The recall is being conducted with the cooperation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). TreeHouse Foods has provided a customer service line for questions and concerns, available Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
