Why Are Listeria Outbreaks So Common in Food Recalls?
Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most common causes of food recalls in the United States, primarily due to the serious health risks it poses and its ability to thrive in cold, moist environments, such as refrigerated foods. Unlike many other bacteria, Listeria can grow at refrigerator temperatures, making it particularly dangerous in ready-to-eat items like deli meats, cheeses, salads, and packaged meals.
There are two reasons Listeria-related recalls are so frequent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeriosis, the infection caused by Listeria, can be especially harmful to pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Even small amounts of the bacteria can lead to serious outcomes, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or life-threatening infections.
Food manufacturers and retailers are required to follow strict food safety protocols, but even with best practices in place, Listeria can contaminate food during processing or packaging. Because of the bacteria’s resilience and high health risk to consumers, even a suspected contamination can trigger a recall out of an abundance of caution.
