Abstract
Listeria in USA Offi cials from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to advise people not to eat cantaloupe melons produced by Jensen Farms in Colorado, USA, as the death toll from an outbreak of listeriosis linked to the fruits had risen to 23 by Oct 10. Four outbreak-associated strains of Listeria monocytogenes have been the cause of 109 reported infections in 24 states, with the CDC expecting more cases in coming weeks due to the incubation period before symptoms present. Meanwhile the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall notice on romaine lettuce produced by True Leaf Farms of Salinas, CA, due to potential L monocytogenes contamination discovered during an FDA research programme.
