Ingesting food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the organism that causes listeriosis, can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. The FDA said that Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women as well as more short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
