Packaged Muffins Sold at Walmart, 7-Eleven, and Other Stores May Be Contaminated With Listeria, FDA Says

In an earlier version of this article, we gave an incorrect name for the product. We have updated this story with the correct name of the recalled products, Give & Go.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a voluntary recall of packaged muffins sold at retailers including Walmart, 7-Eleven, and Stop & Shop. On July 19, muffin manufacturer Give & Go issued a voluntary recall for 26 varieties including Great Value, 7-Eleven Selects, Stop & Shop, Uncle Wally's, Freshness Guaranteed, Marketside, and The Worthy Crumb for possible contamination with the organism Listeria monocytogenes. The affected flavors across Give & Go's brands include blueberry, banana nut, chocolate chip, and Oreo.

According to Give & Go's alert, there have been no reports of illness. Healthy individuals may only suffer short-term symptoms including diarrhea, high fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and stiffness, but listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, the elderly, and immunocompromised people, Give & Go said. Listeria can also cause miscarriage and stillbirths among pregnant people.

If you've purchased the muffins, the FDA advises disposing of them out of an "abundance of caution." For a complete list of recalled Give & Go muffins, read the FDA's announcement.
