Frozen French toast, waffles and pancakes are being recalled over fears that the breakfast products contain the potentially fatal bacteria, parent company Pinnacle Foods Inc. announced Friday night.

No cases of listeria infections linked to Aunt Jemima have been reported, Pinnacle Foods said in the recall announcement.
