The recall was issued after multiple samples of the celery sticks at a Georgia Walmart were found to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Symptoms Of Listeria

According to the company announcement, ''Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which 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 monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.''

Anyone who has already consumed the celery sticks should monitor themselves for symptoms. Not everyone exposed to Listeria becomes ill.

So far there have been no reports of known illnesses caused by the celery sticks.

The FDA says the sticks are no longer being sold in stores, but people may have have kept them in their freezers after buying them.

The celery sticks were sold in Walmart Stores in Alabama, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Anyone who has the celery sticks should throw them away.
