Listeria can cause a serious and life-threatening infection known as listeriosis.  Infants and young children, the elderly, and those individuals with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk for developing complications related to the infection.  Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages or stillbirths among pregnant women.  To learn more, please see Listeriosis and Listeriosis Symptoms.
