Listeria

Michigan is experiencing another round of food recalls due to a national listeria outbreak.

An earlier recall of deli meat due to possible listeria contamination has been expanded to include 7 million pounds of product. The products are believed to be behind a listeria outbreak in 13 states in which more than thirty people have gotten sick and two have died.

The affected products were distributed to stores in several states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio.

Dozens sick and 2 dead as a new listeria outbreak from deli meat spreads through the Midwest to the East Coast.

A new recall is affecting retail stores in Michigan and throughout the nation. Michigan residents are being asked to check their refrigerators and pantry as this recall is already causing problems. The CDC is warning Michigan residents to take action now as ten hospitalizations and one death have been reported due to this recall.
