The Listeria outbreak, first detected in 2014, caused at least 26 people to become ill. Two people died due to the epidemic. A statement came from US officials regarding the source of the epidemic.
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE LISTERIA OUTBREAK?
New diseases were recorded in December. The investigation has been reopened. According to the latest findings of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the relationship between the epidemic and soft cheese and other dairy products produced by a brand has been revealed.
This outbreak was determined to be the source of the Listeria food poisoning epidemic, which caused the death of two people and sickened 26 people.
MORE THAN 60 BRANDS WERE COLLECTED
On Monday, the company recalled soft cheese, yogurt and sour cream products it sold under more than 60 brand names.
The seized products were sold in many markets and stalls, including the country’s leading markets.
ESPECIALLY THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE CAREFUL
Listeria infections can lead to serious illness and, in some cases, death. Especially pregnant women, people over the age of 65 and those with weak immune systems are vulnerable. Symptoms such as muscle aches, fever and fatigue usually appear within an average of two weeks after eating spoiled food. It is also possible for symptoms to start earlier or later.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO AVOID THE LISTERIA EPIDEMIC?
Consumers who have these products should throw them away and thoroughly clean the refrigerator, countertops and other contact areas, the CDC said. Listeria can survive in the refrigerator and easily contaminate other foods and surfaces.
