Customers are being told to either throw the mushrooms out or return them to the store where they were purchased.
Listeria is a food-borne bacteria that can make people very sick but there have been no reports of any illnesses linked to the product.
Food contaminated with Listeria may not look or smell spoiled and symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.
