Deadly Listeria Outbreak: Nursing Home Shakes Recalled

A nationwide recall of nutritional shakes has been issued following a severe listeria outbreak that has already claimed multiple lives and hospitalized several vulnerable nursing home residents. The contaminated products, distributed by a major health supplement company, represent a significant public health threat.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the outbreak has affected at least 12 states, with confirmed cases linked directly to contaminated nutritional supplement shakes. Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous bacteria known for causing serious infections, was discovered during routine manufacturing inspections.

Key Details of the Recall

Affected products: Multiple flavors of nutritional supplement shakes
Distributed primarily to nursing homes and long-term care facilities
At least 5 confirmed deaths
Approximately 23 individuals hospitalized

Health experts warn that elderly and immunocompromised individuals are at highest risk. Symptoms of listeria infection can include fever, muscle aches, and potentially severe gastrointestinal complications. Immediate medical attention is crucial for anyone experiencing these symptoms after consuming the recalled products.

Nursing homes and healthcare facilities are advised to immediately remove and dispose of the affected batches. Consumers and healthcare providers can check specific product lot numbers on the FDA's official recall website for detailed information.
