Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause listeriosis, a foodborne illness. Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. For most people, the risk posed by Listeria is low, however pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.
