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.

However, in weakened bodies (infants, pregnant women, people over seventy years of age, and people with weak immune systems), there is a greater risk of developing the disease. 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.
