Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> (Listeri<\/em>a) is a harmful foodborne bacteria found in ready-to-eat and unpasteurized (raw) milk and milk products – and can cause invasive severe human illness (listeriosis) in susceptible people.<\/p>\n

For most healthy people, the infection doesn\u2019t pose much of a threat, but for some people (pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems), the infection can be serious or even life-threatening, particularly pregnant women and their unborn babies.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rare for people in other groups to get sick with Listeria<\/em> infection. Listeriosis is the serious infection caused by Listeria.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unlike most bacteria, Listeria <\/em>survive and multiply at lower (refrigerator) temperatures – which allows it to reach levels high enough to cause illness. Although freezing will prevent Listeria<\/em> bacteria from growing, it does not kill the bacteria<\/p>\n
