Hold the Waffles! Listeria Found in Another Frozen Waffle Recall

Ugh, not again! Another frozen waffle recall, this time widening to include even more brands. Yep, you read that right. Listeria. The dreaded bacteria that can cause serious food poisoning.

Here’s the lowdown: The recall involves various brands of frozen waffles and pancakes, all made at the same facility. The problem? They're potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. This little bug can cause listeriosis, an infection that can be dangerous, especially for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms of listeriosis can include: fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and even seizures. Scary, right? So, it's crucial to take this recall seriously.

What to do? Check your freezer! If you've got any of the affected brands, throw them out. Don't even bother trying to cook them or return them to the store.

This recall is a real pain, especially for waffle lovers like me. But it's better to be safe than sorry. The good news is that there are plenty of other breakfast options out there. You could always try making your own waffles (it's easier than you think!), or maybe grab some fresh fruit or yogurt for a change.

**Bottom line: ** Food safety is important. Don't take risks with your health. Be smart, be safe, and check your freezer!

Here are some of the brands included in the recall:
