Description Of listeriosis:

Listeriosis is a dangerous infection brought on by Listeria monocytogenes, according to the US CDC. People typically become sick from this after consuming tainted food. Pregnant women, neonates, older individuals, and those with compromised immune systems are its main targets.

The Foods Standards Agency (FSA) states that listeria symptoms, which include high fever, aches or pains in the muscles, chills, a feeling of being unwell, and diarrhea, are typically mild and comparable to those of the flu.

Depending on the severity of the infection, the symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscular pains, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patients may experience convulsions, a stiff neck, disorientation, loss of balance, and headaches if the infection is severe. Listeriosis can cause mortality in extremely young children, the elderly, and immune-compromised people.

According to the FDA, mild types of listeriosis may take three days to three months to manifest; however, infected individuals may begin exhibiting symptoms as soon as a few hours or as late as two to three days after consuming contaminated food. 

In response to salmonella-related health risks in Britain and Ireland in 2006, Cadbury Schweppes, the largest candy company in the world, was fined $1 million ($2 million) by a UK court. In June 2006, Cadbury acknowledged the salmonella issue at one of its UK facilities and said that it was recalling more than one million chocolate bars from the UK and Irish markets due to the possibility that they may contain very small amounts of salmonella.
