Nearly 2 million more pounds of ready-to-eat wraps, salads and frozen meals containing chicken were added to a list of products recalled for potential contamination with listeria, a pathogen that poses a particularly serious risk to people 65 and older.

The affected products, made with chicken supplied by BrucePac, are part of an 11.7-million-pound recall of meat and poultry distributed to restaurants, schools and other institutions nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Routine testing detected listeria in the products, but no illnesses or deaths have been reported so far.

For photos and more information on the recalled products, see the full list compiled by the USDA.

A distribution list of the recalled products sent to schools is not yet available, but the USDA said it will be posted on the recall announcement page once released.

Retailers include Amazon, Walmart, 7-Eleven, Target, Kroger, Safeway, Aldi, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, HEB, Meijer, Albertsons, Giant Eagle, Wegmans, RaceTrac, Raley’s and The Save Mart Co.

Symptoms of a listeria infection

Listeriosis, the infection stemming from consuming food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes bacteria, poses a severe threat to people 65 and older. They are four times as likely to be infected, according to the CDC.

Symptoms associated with a listeria infection includes neck stiffness, confusion, loss of balance, convulsions, fever, muscle aches and fatigue.

Pregnant women usually experience only fever, fatigue and muscle aches. However, listeriosis can lead to pregnancy loss or premature birth, and can cause serious illness or death in newborns. Anyone who experiences symptoms of severe listeria illness should call their health care provider.

About 1,600 people in the U.S. get listeriosis each year, with an average of 260 deaths, the CDC estimates.
