Blood tests are usually required to diagnose Listeriosis, which can be treated with antibiotics. Symptoms of Listeriosis include muscle aches, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, severe headaches and fever. If the bacteria spreads from the intestines to the bloodstream and nervous system, it could cause meningitis and other complications.

The recall notice did not contain instructions for consumers on returning the sandwiches. Any consumers with questions can call Zemco Industries at (479)290-4714.

A couple weeks ago my husband ate one of those market side deli sandwiches and within 20 minutes or so he was really sick. He was the only one who ate it and the only one that got sick. He was never examined and did get better but its still scary. I feed my kids those sandwiches when we do movie nights. Now I will certainly think twice about it.

I am currently sick from a pizza purchased at Wal-Mart, “Marketside – 12″ Supreme”, on August 24, 2010. It contained Pepperoni, Italian sausage, and garden vegetables. I normally do not shop at this Wal-Mart, their Pizza was not frozen, it was located in a stair-step refrigeration area at the very back of the store. The Vegetarian Pizza that I normally buy, at my local Port Orange Wal-Mart in a frozen state in a freezer cooler, was Sold Out. I selected the above product, hoping I would be okay with the Pepperoni, as I never eat it. I prefer the vegetarian as it is really good, has no MSG, and a really good cornmeal crust. It was after 8 PM and I wanted to get home, bake it, and relax. So I selected it, figuring I would enjoy it, because it was in the same style box as the one I normally purchase.
