Listeria Outbreak Linked to Yu Shang Food Claims Infant's Life and Sickens 11

The CDC confirms a multi-state outbreak tied to recalled ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, with illnesses reported across California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey.

Yu Shang Food has recalled over 72,000 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products due to Listeria contamination, with affected items distributed nationwide and sold online.
The outbreak has resulted in 11 confirmed cases, including nine hospitalizations and the death of an infant in California, whose mother and one of her twins tested positive for Listeria.
The CDC warns that the actual number of cases may be higher, as some individuals recover without seeking medical care or undergoing testing.
Consumers are advised to discard or return recalled items labeled with establishment numbers 'P-46684' or 'EST. M46684' and thoroughly clean any surfaces that may have come into contact with the products.
Listeriosis poses significant risks to pregnant individuals, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, with symptoms ranging from fever and muscle aches to severe neurological complications.
