Listeria outbreak: CDC advises people to avoid eating deli meat

Listeria outbreak under investigation

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is probing a deadly Listeria outbreak linked to deli meat, resulting in two deaths and 28 hospitalizations across 12 states. The CDC advised pregnant women, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems to avoid eating sliced deli meat unless it’s reheated to steaming hot at home.

Scope of the outbreak

According to the Associated Press, the outbreak may be more widespread than reported, as many recover at home without being tested. New York has the highest number of cases, with 89% of interviewed victims reporting consumption of deli-sliced meats, particularly turkey, liverwurst, and ham, from various delis.

Genetic analysis and source identification

Samples from victims between May 29 and July 5 show genetically related bacteria, indicating deli-sliced meats as a likely source. However, the CDC has not pinpointed specific products and has not issued a food recall.

Symptoms and risks of listeria

Listeria infection can cause fever, muscle aches, tiredness, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. It is particularly dangerous for individuals over 65 and those with weakened immune systems. Diagnosis is typically made by testing bodily fluids like blood, urine, or spinal fluid.

Currently, there are no indications that prepackaged deli meats are involved. The CDC advises reheating deli slices before consumption to eliminate any potential germs, as refrigeration does not kill Listeria.

Listeria has previously prompted recalls of cheeses, bean dips, milk, mushrooms, ice cream, and packaged salads, highlighting the persistent threat of this bacteria in various food products.
