According to the FDA, many brands of frozen waffles sold throughout the U.S., Canada, and Texas have been recalled for possible Listeria contamination.

Listeria can be deadly for elderly or medically frail people. It can also cause miscarriages in pregnant people.

Even for healthy folks, Listeria can be deeply unpleasant, with symptoms ranging from fever, headache, nausea, diarrhea, etc.
