Listeria Outbreak
Severity
38 sick, 37 hospitalized & 12 people dead across 21 states to date. Outbreak began in Nov 25, 2024. This update includes updated case count and images of products recalled. Affected products were distributed and sold nationwide mostly at hospitals and long-term care facilities. Investigation ongoing.
Who's At Risk?
Pregnant women, young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. This is because Listeria is more likely to spread beyond their gut to other parts of their body, resulting in a severe condition known as invasive listeriosis.
Symptoms
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn in pregnant women. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It can take up to 10 weeks for some people to have symptoms.
