Summary
Public health and regulatory agencies in the USA have established a zero tolerance for Listeria monocytogenes in cooked, ready-to-eat food. The organism causes human illness, can grow at refrigeration temperatures and the infection dose is unknown. The US reponse to listeriosis has included emphasis on good manufacturing practices and HACCP for processing, recommendations for sanitation and other measures for retail handling, and consumer education targeted to populations at highest risk for listeriosis.
