NATIONAL (WDNews) – A recent Listeria outbreak has left 28 people sick and claimed 2 lives across 12 states.
Health officials are advising against consuming deli-sliced meats unless they are reheated to an internal temperature of 165°F or until steaming hot.
Investigators are working diligently to identify the specific sources of contamination. For now, it’s best to play it safe and heat any deli meats thoroughly before eating.
This outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, and the true number of sick people is likely higher than the number reported. This is because some people recover without medical care and are not tested for Listeria.
Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
