What they're saying:

No illnesses have been reported, but consumers with the affected products should dispose of them immediately.

"Consumers with pre-existing conditions who have purchased potentially contaminated products should not ingest, inhale, or otherwise consume them and should dispose of them," AZDHS said in a statement. "If you have already consumed any of the products, please contact your healthcare provider or seek care immediately in the event of an emergency."

Dig deeper:

AZDHS says aspergillus primarily affects people with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions. Symptoms of Aspergillus include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest pain.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, Aspergillus can cause a disease known as Aspergillosis, which can cause "allergic reactions, chronic lung conditions and invasive disease that spreads to your brain, kidneys, lungs or other organs."

Treatment for Aspergillus can include antifungal treatment, the use of corticosteroids, or even surgery.
