The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says seven people have been hospitalized, though no deaths have been reported. Investigators are still working to determine the specific source of contamination.

Consumers are being urged to check their freezers for the affected meals. Health officials advise anyone who has them not to eat them; instead, throw them out and contact the company.

The outbreak remains under investigation.
