Do only meats have listeriosis? The answer is no. Fresh cut mushrooms are now seen to have listeriosis bacteria inside as well. This has been discovered due to the raised caution to contamination of food. Although there is no direct relation with the 13 deaths caused by meat in Maple Leaf Products, in a way, it is a relief that another food has been spotted and set aside to the list of non-edible foods. An expert states that listeriosis is a widespread bacteria and when the effort to find the bacteria is made, there may be even more foods contaminated with such a bacteria.
The beginning of listeriosis, may yet bring further trouble to the economy and business in Canada. The infection of listeriosis has brought down the business of wide variety of stores and restaurants. Not only are the store owners affected, the greater companies selling meats to others may close down. Furthermore, the discovery of listeriosis is only a minor problem to what may happen to other foods in the future.
