Recently, the cantaloupe-listeria outbreak was determined to be the second largest in US history. Last month, four other separate recalls were issued due to the identification of listeria bacteria during standard testing.
On September 14, Fine Mexican Food Products recalled 3,243 cases of avocado distributed since June. No related illnesses were reported. The bacteria was found in sample test results.
On September 19, Queso Fresco Casero Fresh Cheese recalled its 16-oz packages stamped with code date 9-14. The Washington State Department of Agriculture conducted the testing and found the pathogen.
On the 30th, Publix Super Markets recalled its 16-oz containers of spinach dip after routine testing found the bug. No illnesses have been relayed due to Publix dip.
Also on the 30th, True Leaf Farms recalled 2500 cartons of romaine lettuce, which were shipped on September 12 and 13. No illnesses have been reported from the products of this California-based company, which sends its lettuce to 21 US states. This time, the FDA, through a research program, found the listeria.
Listeriosis causes gastrointestinal problems and flu-like symptoms in most people. Pregnant women are at a risk of miscarriage or stillbirth, and the elderly or those with weakened immune systems may suffer more debilitating effects, including meningitis and death. The cantaloupe listeria, which has been fueling much of the recent panic, has thus far been responsible for 109 illnesses, 21 deaths, and 1 miscarriage.
