Here is the full list of schools affected by the BrucePac recall of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products because of possible listeria contamination.

Food safety officials initially said ready-to-eat salads and wraps sold at Walmart, Trader Joe's and Aldi were among dozens of products included in a massive recall. Additional items including pastas and frozen meals sold at Costco and other stores may also be contaminated. Shortly after, officials warned many of the products were shipped to schools.

"FSIS is continuing to gather distribution information and is committed to ensuring consumers have the information needed to identify recalled products effectively," the agency said.

BrucePac produces various meat products, including chicken, beef, turkey and pork. Its website says it serves industrial, food service and retail clients.

No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported, according to the alert.

Eating food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects people who are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or with weakened immune systems. People outside these risk groups are less affected.

Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, and are sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
