The CDC has issued a warning about a listeria outbreak linked to sliced deli meat, with 28 infections reported in 12 states and two deaths. New York has reported the most cases. Officials caution that the outbreak may extend beyond confirmed states due to underreporting. Most affected individuals reported eating deli-sliced turkey and liverwurst. High-risk individuals are advised to avoid deli-sliced meats unless thoroughly heated. Symptoms of Listeria can start within 2 weeks of consumption and can be severe, especially in pregnant individuals, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur after consuming deli meats.
