listeria

The symptoms of a listeria infection include fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and even seizures, according to the CDC.

Three deaths are being investigated as part of a listeria outbreak linked to desserts supplied to NHS hospitals and care homes.

A listeria recall in October affected 12 million pounds of meat and poultry, including Trader Joe’s cooked chicken products.

The American Veterinary Medical Association’s website discourages this due to foodborne pathogens like salmonella and listeria, and now the highly pathogenic H5N1.

Last September, a deadly listeria outbreak concerning sliced deli meats forced Boar’s Head to indefinitely shut down its plant in Jarratt, Virginia.
