Summary at a Glance

The supplement shakes, labeled under the brands Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial, were sold to institutional customers, including hospitals and long-term care facilities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday.

Symptoms of listeria usually start within two weeks after eating contaminated food but can begin as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks later, according to the FDA.

Certain Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial Frozen Supplemental Shakes are being voluntarily recalled.

If the more severe form of listeriosis develops, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, the agency says.

“Records reviewed from facilities indicated nutritional shakes were available to residents,” a report from the FDA says.
