US EditionWhat to know about food poisoning illnesses caused by listeria
- Fresh & Ready Foods LLC recalled over 80 ready-to-eat sandwiches and snacks after at least 10 Americans fell ill from a listeria outbreak in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington.
- The outbreak, linked to products sold from April 18 to 25 with 'Use By' dates through May 19, reportedly dates back to December 2023 and has been ongoing for months.
- Listeria bacteria are capable of multiplying even at cold temperatures in the fridge and can contaminate areas like refrigerator drawers, which federal authorities advise cleaning if they come into contact with the recalled products.
- According to the CDC, heating food until it is very hot—specifically to 165°F —can eliminate Listeria bacteria. Symptoms of infection may involve fever, body aches, nausea, and vomiting.
- The outbreak highlights risks especially for the very young, elderly, pregnant, and immunocompromised, suggesting disposal of recalled products and thorough sanitation to reduce further illness.
