WASHINGTON, Nov 24 (Reuters) - An Ohio-based company is recalling 46,941 lbs of turkey and ham products that officials fear could cause listeriosis, a potentially fatal disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Friday.

HoneyBaked Foods Inc. is voluntarily recalling the meat, which includes cooked, glazed and sliced ham and turkey, USDA said in a statement.

The meat, which was produced between Sept. 5 and Nov. 13, may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can bring about high fever, headaches, neck stiffness and nausea, USDA said.

Healthy individuals are not usually susceptible to the illness, but it can cause infections to infants, the elderly, or people with HIV or cancer. It can also cause miscarriages.

The meat was sold at the company's retail stores and kiosks around Toledo, Ohio, and to customers across the country over the Internet and through the company's catalogue.

Just can't believe how many problems we are having with the food industry. You would think that with the FDA (supposedly the most strict in the world) would have this stuff under control.

Glad we didn't do ham this year. And glad we had a Butterball this year.

Hope this doesn't turn into another spinach incident.

It is pathetic I can't believe these people can't make their food safe

What could be better than to have an epidemic of diseased turkeys on Thanksgiving! I expect we will have an outbreak of contaminated eggs for next Easter.
