TreeHouse Foods Inc. has voluntarily recalled several brands of frozen waffles due to possible Listeria contamination.

The Hawaii Department of Health is alerting residents to the recall, which was first announced Friday as the products were sold throughout the United States and Canada.

TreeHouse today expanded the recall to include all products manufactured at a facility that are still shelf-stable, including now frozen toast waffles, Belgian waffles and pancake products.

To date, there have been no reports of illness or adverse events attributed to the recalled products in Hawaii or the United States

The list includes brand names such as Kodiak Cakes, Great Value and Good & Gather, which are available for sale in supermarkets and retailers in Hawaii.

The expanded list includes waffle brands 365 Everyday Organic, Signature Select and O Organics.

A complete list is available from the US Food and Drug Administration.

According to the CDC, listeria infection can be particularly harmful to newborns, adults age 65 and older, and other people with weakened immune systems. Infection during pregnancy can also lead to miscarriage and stillbirth.

Healthy people may only experience short-term symptoms such as fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Although people can develop listeriosis up to two months after eating contaminated food, symptoms usually begin within a few days of consumption, often with diarrhea. It can be treated with antibiotics.

Consumers are advised to check the FDA website for the recalled products and discard them or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact TreeHouse Foods, Inc. at 800-596-2903 or [email protected].
