US listeria outbreak kills infant and prompts recall of meat products

Source: BBC News [UK state media]

“An infant in California died in a listeria outbreak that has now prompted a recall of ready-to-eat meat, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said. The child’s pregnant mother also fell ill with listeria. The child’s twin died as well, but testing could not find listeria in that infant. The CDC said eleven people had been reported as infected in four states between October 2021 and July 2024. It was not clear when the baby died. The outbreak led to a recall this month of ready-to-eat meat products manufactured by Yu Shang Food Inc.” (11/23/24)
