Ballard's Farm Sausage Inc. (based in Wayne W Va.), which recalled its egg salad earlier this month, said the products could be contaminated with a bacterium that can cause serious health problems.
The bacterium also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women, and healthy individuals could experience short-term symptoms such as fever, severe headache and nausea, according to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The products were distributed in North Carolina, Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
