What to Know About the Massive Listeria Outbreak

An outbreak of the bacteria listeria has caused a frozen food company to recall close to 360 frozen food products.

The recent outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes is just the latest in a series of recalls associated with listeria. The bacteria can cause fever and aches as well as stomach problems and diarrhea. Listeria also grows well in refrigerator temperatures, which is why it can contaminate frozen food as well as deli products like cheese.
