The Kane County Health Department reports that Kellogg Company is voluntarily recalling about 10,000 cases of Kellogg’s Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat Waffles because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. No other Eggo products are impacted by this recall.

The company has received no reports of illness to date, but the recalled product was distributed to customers in Illinois and 24 states.

The affected product is:

• Kellogg’s® Eggo® Nutri-Grain® Whole Wheat Waffles:
• Package Size: 10 Box Count (12.3 oz)

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Kellogg is asking that people who purchased affected product discard it and contact the company for a full refund. Consumers can call 1-800-962-1413, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday or by visiting this page of the Kellogg’s website.
