According to the FDA, Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may have only short-lived symptoms, such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection in pregnant women can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.

Poison Control says Listeria was initially discovered in the 1920s in rodents, rabbits and guinea pigs, and is now recognized as a foodborne pathogen in humans. Listeria is associated with a higher mortality rate than other foodborne illnesses and is responsible for nearly 20% of deaths from consuming contaminated food in the US.
