Listeria bacteria are a bacteria commonly present in our environment, which often occurs in food, but only causes illness when the number of bacteria is higher. In healthy people, consuming food contaminated with Listeria often does not cause any symptoms.

Listeriosis is often difficult to distinguish from other foodborne infections based on its general symptoms – fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache. Complications include meningitis and blood poisoning.
