Understanding Listeria and Listeriosis Risks

Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis, a potentially severe foodborne illness. Symptoms include fever, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and in serious cases, meningitis or encephalitis. The incubation period can last up to 8 weeks. If you've consumed the recalled ham, consult a healthcare professional promptly, especially if you're pregnant, elderly, or immunocompromised.
