The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that Listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States.
Listeria can also cause an intestinal illness that the CDC calls “usually mild.” However, the illness can spread.
According to the CDC, about 1,600 people become sick with listeria each year, and about 260 people die from it.
The CDC said when the illness spreads beyond the intestines, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, and individuals over 65 could be at the greatest health risk.
