There are two forms of the disease. The FDA said one form is known as non-invasive gastrointestinal listeriosis, and is less severe. The more severe form is called invasive listeriosis and occurs when the listeria spreads beyond the intestines, the FDA said.OVER 57K FROZEN BURRITO BOWL PRODUCTS SOLD AT TARGET RECALLED DUE TO UNDECLARED ALLERGENIf people have the less severe form, they may exhibit mild symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
