One person died, a woman lost her pregnancy, and over a dozen others were sickened in a listeria outbreak believed to be linked to deli meat and cheese, public health officials said Wednesday. At least 16 people in six states have been sickened, with New York state reporting the most people sickened, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention said, but the real number is likely higher. In New York, where seven of the sick people were identified, five bought deli meat or cheese from at least one location of the NetCost Market chain, but others did not, according to the CDC. The CDC said investigators don’t think that chain is the sole source, and that products bought at deli counters in multiple states are the likely source. “A contaminated food likely introduced the outbreak strain of Listeria into delis in multiple states,” the agency said.

One person has died and 13 have been hospitalized in a listeria outbreak across six states that most likely was caused by contaminated deli meat and cheese, federal health officials said on Wednesday. The outbreak sickened at least 16 people from April 17, 2021, to Sept. 29, 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: three in Maryland, where the person who died resided; seven in New York; two people each in Illinois and Massachusetts; and one each in New Jersey and California. There may have been more recent cases, but it typically takes three or four weeks to determine if an illness is tied to an outbreak. The true number of sick people is most likely higher, and the outbreak “may not be limited to the states with known illnesses,” the agency said in a news release. The flulike symptoms of listeriosis — fever, vomiting and diarrhea — most often affect older adults, immune-compromised individuals and pregnant women, who can pass it on to their fetuses.

Если кто-то спросит вас, что является самым чистым и безопасным местом в вашем доме, вы, вероятно, с гордостью ответите, что это кухня. Там, на кухне находится один из самых опасных предметов в вашем доме. Он удаляет жирные пятна, остатки пищи и даже плесень.

That dark, delicious bar you devoured might contain 30 or more insect parts and a sprinkling of rodent hair. That means each 2 tablespoon-peanut butter sandwich would only have about eight insect fragments and a teensy bit of rodent filth. (“Filth” is what the FDA calls these insect and rodent food defects.) Did you know there can be 450 insect parts and nine rodent hairs in every 16-ounce box of spaghetti? “Do we have particularly high insect parts or was it a particularly buggy time of year when the food was harvested?
