Listeria outbreak
Severity
10 people hospitalized across 2 states to date. 80+ Ready-to-Eat foods including several sandwiches, and snack items are linked. Affected products are sold under 3 brands in 4 states (confirmed) and likely other states at various retailers, hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports, and airlines between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025.
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.
