Gourmet Boutique, a New York based food company, has announced a voluntary recall of  286,000 pounds of meat and poultry due to possible Listeria contamination, a bacteria that can cause nausea, flu-like symptoms, and diarrhea. In pregnant women, the bacteria can lead to infections associated with  miscarriage, premature delivery, and stillbirth.

Most of the recalled items are sold under the brand name Archer Farms, and are sold in SuperTarget stores across the country. The USDA notified consumers of the problem after it was detected during a routine safety inspection in Florida, and the products have since been removed from the shelves of all SuperTarget locations where they are carried.
