Do note that Listeria risk can be mitigated by heating to 165F. For some products this is possible such as meats, others not so much, like ice cream.

And ofc, blame the deregulation and intential sabotage of regulatory bodies, specifically by Trump’s administration.

For those that don’t want to bother reading the article, to avoid listeria you should buy fresh and local whenever possible, avoiding prepared foods (especially those stored chilled for longer periods of time during shipping)and avoid storing chilled foods for long periods of time even if the shelf life indicates they would otherwise okay. Listeria thrives in cooler temps.
