Health officials in the United States have confirmed a third death in a listeria food poisoning outbreak linked to deli meats. The outbreak has raised concerns about the safety of certain food products and has prompted a swift response from authorities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been investigating the outbreak, which has been traced back to deli meats. Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria responsible for the outbreak, can cause serious illness, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
