The CDC reports a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak with an Unknown Food Source

The CDC reported a new outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes with an unknown source. The outbreak involves 11 illnesses, 10 hospitalizations in 10 states. The states are Arkansas (1), California (1), Colorado (1), Michigan (2), Missouri (1), New York (1), North Carolina (1), Pennsylvania (1), South Dakota(1), and Washington (1). A specific food item has not yet been identified as the source of this outbreak. The outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, and the true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely higher than the number reported. This is because some people recover without medical care and are not tested for Listeria. @ https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/outbreaks/monocytogenes-02-23/index.html
