One infant died and nine people were hospitalized due to a Listeria outbreak in four states.

Tragedy has struck as a young infant has passed away and nine others have been hospitalized due to a recent outbreak of listeria in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. This dangerous situation has affected individuals in four states, including New York and New Jersey.

The unfortunate baby was from California, where seven other people have also been hospitalized due to infections related to Yu Shang Food's products. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one of the infected individuals in California was pregnant with twins, both of whom sadly did not survive. However, the CDC clarified that listeria was only found in one of the twins and their mother, despite the loss of both babies.

In addition to California, two people in Illinois, one in New York, and one in New Jersey have also been affected by this outbreak. The CDC has confirmed a total of 11 cases across these states, with individuals of Asian heritage between the ages of less than 1 year old to 86 years old. However, there could be more unreported cases and the CDC believes that the outbreak may have spread to other states as well.

The investigation into this outbreak began in late October when routine tests revealed the presence of listeria in Yu Shang Food's products and facility, which is based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. These contaminated products had been distributed to retail locations nationwide and were even available for purchase online.

As a result, the company has issued a recall for over 72,000 pounds of their ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. The initial recall was announced on November 9th and was later expanded on Thursday. It covers products that were produced before October 28th and a detailed list can be found on the USDA's website.

This unfortunate situation serves as a reminder of the importance of routine testing and safety measures in food production. Let us hope for a swift resolution and that no more individuals will be affected by this outbreak.
