Victims who have symptoms
such as fever or a stiff neck should consult a physician, and in case of
suspected Listeriosis, a physician may call for blood or spinal fluid test.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) announced an update on the most recent Listeria
monocytogenes outbreak announced on February 12, 2021. The listeria outbreak
was reported to be linked to Hispanic-style fresh and soft cheeses, sold by the
company El Abuelito Cheese, Inc.
The El Abuelito Company
issued a voluntary recall on multiple fresh and soft cheese products
distributed in February 2021 a few days after the outbreak was announced. As of
the first announcement of the outbreak a total of seven listeria cases have
been linked to the outbreak strain.
