Why Were Sysco’s Imperial Frozen Shakes Recalled?
Lyons Readycare and Sysco Imperial shakes were recalled because of a Listeria outbreak linked with 38 infections in 21 states and 12 deaths.
This is a long-term outbreak, as the CDC initially investigated the outbreak in 2018.
The products which were recalled were not sold via retail sales and were primarily distributed to long-term care facilities. Most people infected by the deadly outbreak were hospitalized or in long-term care facilities prior to falling ill.
The Risks of Listeria Contamination
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria which may cause serious, even fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, elderly or frail people, and young children. The bacteria can also cause stillbirths and miscarriages in pregnant women.
The risk of death is increased when the infection spreads beyond the gut. Nearly one in six people die when it spreads beyond the gut, according to the CDC.
Listeria is the United States’ third leading cause of death from foodborne illness. Each year, approximately 260 die from listeria infection.
