Listeria
is unlike most other bacteria; it can grow and multiply in a refrigerated environment. Listeria is normally killed during pasteurization and cooking. In certain ready-to-eat foods such as hot dogs and deli meats, contamination may occur after factory cooking but before packaging. According to Ron Simon, a national Listeria Lawyer, victimsย who have symptoms such as fever or a stiff neck may consult a physician, and there are options in cases of suspected Listeriosis for blood or spinal fluid test.
