💬
Listeria monocytogenes
Severity
1 person dead and 10 hospitalized across 7 states. Affected products were sold under multiple brand names between May 1 - Nov 15, 2022 and May 1 - Nov 15, 2023. Check your freezers for any recalled fruits. Products were distributed and sold nationwide.
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 and stillbirths among pregnant women. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
