ListeriaThe dangers of Listeria (Listeria monocytogenes)

Dogs and cats rarely catch infections with Listeria. However, contaminated pet food can be dangerous to handlers, especially small children, pregnant women and older people. In fact, it is a leading cause of hospitalization and deaths due to foodborne illness in industrialized countries.
