Multi-State Listeria Outbreak Has Been Linked to Florida Creamery

By: WebWire

As of early July, at least one person has died and nearly two dozen others have been hospitalized by a new Listeria outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stated that cases have been reported in 10 different states. These states include Colorado, Minnesota, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kansas, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts. It is believed the source of the outbreak is ice cream sold only in Florida.

“Foods can become contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytoenes and can cause a serious infection known as listeriosis,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “Listeria has been associated with a variety of foods, including milk and cheese, but has also been associated with fruits, vegetables, and meats. EMSL's laboratories provide services to food manufacturers to help identify Listeria and other foodborne pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli. Additionally, EMSL offers a wide array of sampling supplies.”

EMSL's Food Division offers many different foods testing for large and small projects. Our Food Microbiology labs offer an array of different testing for your project including food pathogen testing, indicator organism testing, and bacterial and fungal identification. These tests can help you be sure that your product is safe for distribution.  Ask about our shelf-life study available for long term studies.
