Jars of sunflower butter and tahini butter made by Oskri have been voluntarily recalled by the company over fears that they may be contaminated with Listeria.
Listeria is a bacteria and infections are marked by high fever, intense headaches, body aches and stiffness as well as gastrointestinal symptoms like pain, nausea and diarrhea.
The infection is particularly dangerous to pregnant women and has been known to cause stillbirths and miscarriages - but no one has been sickened so far.
Listeria was discovered in two jars of the Oskri Sunflower Butter that were sold to consumers in Ohio, but additional jars were distributed to California, Arizona, Georgia, Connecticut, Indiana, Texas, Florida, South Carolina and New Hampshire.
