Symptoms of listeria monocytogenes
Symptoms caused by listeria monocytogenes can be similar to those of a cold, according to the FSA.
They include:
- High temperature
- Muscle ache or pain
- Chills
- Feeling or being sick
- Diarrhoea
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.
The FSA added: "Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems."
