SUMMARY: A deadly Listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat meat has resulted in the deaths of two infants in California, with nine others hospitalized. The CDC is investigating the outbreak, and the USDA has recalled 72,000 pounds of contaminated meat products across four states. This follows several other foodborne illness outbreaks, including Listeria-tainted deli meat, E. coli in McDonald’s onions, and contaminated organic carrots. Experts stress the importance of food safety and sanitation to prevent such outbreaks, urging consumers to dispose of recalled products and sanitize their refrigerators.
