At Least 2 Dead in Listeria Outbreak Tied to Deli Sliced Meat
Two people in Ontario have died after being sickened with listeriosis, as part of a wider set of cases linked to plant-based beverages that prompted a recall.
A total of 12 listeriosis cases — 10 in Ontario, and one each in Quebec and Nova Scotia — are under investigation.
Listeriosis is a foodborne bacterial illness that can affect anyone exposed to a contaminated food product, including the recalled products.
While healthy individuals can fall ill from a Listeria infection, the disease can be fatal for unborn babies, newborns, individuals over age 60, and those with weakened immune systems.
