What is listeria? What are listeria symptoms?
Those who eat food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can get listeriosis, or listeria. It’s a serious infection that sickens an estimated 1,250 people each year, with 172 dying from it, according to the CDC.
Symptoms of listeria include fever, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, seizures, diarrhea and vomiting.
The infection is especially dangerous for those who are pregnant, have weakened immune systems or are 65 years or older.
Anyone who believes they might have eaten the affected chicken should contact a healthcare provider.
