Listeria Food Poisoning (Listeriosis) Symptoms

Listeria, also known as listeriosis, is a severe infection triggered by consuming foods contaminated with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. This foodborne illness poses the greatest risk to vulnerable groups, including individuals with weakened immune systems, young children, the elderly, and pregnant people.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), approximately 1,600 people in the United States contract listeriosis annually, with around 260 fatalities reported each year. The USDA advises that high-risk individuals who develop flu-like symptoms within two months of consuming contaminated food should seek immediate medical attention and inform their healthcare provider about possible exposure to the bacteria.

“Use or consumption of products contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” FDA said. “Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.”
