What is Listeria Monocytogenes?

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause severe and sometimes life-threatening infections. Contaminated food may appear and smell normal, making the risk less obvious.

Symptoms of Listeria Infection:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Persistent fever
• Severe headache
• Muscle aches
• Neck stiffness

In extreme cases, Listeria infection can lead to serious complications, including premature delivery or stillbirth in pregnant women, and life-threatening illnesses in people with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and young children.
