What can cause Listeriosis and symptoms?

Listeriosis only comes because of a bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes is what this germs is. It’s really uncommon for a human to get the disease. Typically Listeriosis is not present in humans. Newborns, elderly and individuals with weak or malfunctioning immune systems are most likely to get the infection. Meningitis, a brain and spinal cord infection, is the biggest risk associated with Listeriosis. Between three and seventy days are needed to determine symptoms after exposure to Listeriosis. Causes of the infection are hard to figure out since the incubation period of Listeriosis is so long.

Listeriosis brought on by celery on some occasions

One produce processor in Texas has been ordered to shut down production and recall chopped celery. Blaming chopped celery has been what 10 cases of listeriosis and five fatalities have done. Fresh Cut Produce has gone to schools, hospitals and restaurants from SanGar Produce and Processing Co.. The processing plant in TX had a lot of troubles discovered there. Among these were a condensation leak and hand-washing problems. Pre-sliced celery in Texas and Oklahoma are affected by this recall. A statement from SanGar Produce states that “independent inspectors” showed there were not any issues which is why they’re disputing what had been discovered by the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Sliced pork found to cause listeriosis

A ready-to-eat chopped ham recall has started in Ottowa, Canada which was begun by health officials. Best-before dates of 2010NO12 of Four L. Fortin chopped pork are being recalled. The ham was checked out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. They determined the pork could trigger listeriosis due to the bacteria discovered in it. No cases of the bacterial infection have yet been found to be linked to the Four L. Fortin sliced pig recall. The meat within the listeriosis recall was only distributed in Canada. The United States of America does not have to worry about it.
