We also just wrote that Giant Eagle was advised by FDA that it discovered the Listeria monocytogenes pathogen in a routine random sample test of Giant Eagle Farmer’s Market eight-ounce packages of Shredded Iceberg Lettuce. That lettuce was produced River Ranch Fresh Foods LLC, has a use by date of October 14, 2011, and involves Giant Eagle Farmer’s Market Shredded Iceberg Lettuce, UPC 3003430195. In that case, the potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce was also used in certain Giant Eagle Sandwich Rings.
As we’ve mentioned, the Listeria monocytogenes pathogen can lead to the listeriosis infection, which is a potentially fatal infection that can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, abdominal cramps and pain, diarrhea, and nausea, especially in those with weakened immune systems, infants, and the elderly. Vulnerable populations, such as the developing fetus, can suffer serious central nervous system problems. The infection can prompt premature births, or the death of the fetus via miscarriages and stillbirths. Pregnant women are 20 times likelier to become infected. Listeriosis can also lead to hearing loss or brain damage in newborns, and can prompt neurological effects and cardio respiratory failure in adults.
