Two Planters nut products were recalled by Hormel Foods on Friday because the company said they were potentially contaminated with listeria.
The voluntary recall applies to 4-ounce packages of Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts and 8.75-ounce cans of Planters Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts sold at Publix and Dollar Tree.

Stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina are the only locations affected, the company said.
There are no reports of any illness related to the recall at this time, and Hormel said the retailers have been notified.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, listeria symptoms usually start within two weeks after eating contaminated food, but they may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after. Mild symptoms may include fever, severe headache, muscle aches, nausea, tiredness, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
Listeria can cause serious or fatal infections in children, elderly people or individuals who have weakened immune systems.
