Listeria Food Poisoning Infections

Deli meat is a recurrent source of Listeria contamination, with deadly outbreaks reported in January 2021 and again in November 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

What is the Risk?

People who eat deli meat that is contaminated with Listeria can develop symptoms as soon as the same day, but it can take up to 70 days for symptoms to appear. The infection can spread beyond the intestines and into the brain and spinal cord. Infections also commonly cause pregnancy complication like a miscarriage or stillbirth.
