It's possible that Newtown consumers could be in possession of several food items under recall this week.

Whole Foods Market of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is recalling bulk and packaged Curry Chicken Salad and Classic Deli Pasta Salad sold in stores throughout New York, New Jersey, and New England (except Vermont), because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract.

In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics.

Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

No illnesses had been reported as of 11 am on October 27, according to the company's website.

The salads were sold prepackaged, in salad bars, in store's chef's cases, and in sandwiches and wraps prepared in the stores. The effected products were sold in stores between October 18 and October 22, and have a "sell by" date of October 23, 2015.
