 Date Published: Wednesday, March 8th, 2006  
Classic Delight, Inc. of St. Marys, Ohio, is recalling ìEgg Salad on Vienna Bread, Pilot good to go” sandwiches because the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.  
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
