Listeria Precautions

People at risk for listeriosis and their family members or individuals preparing food for them should:

• Reheat until steaming hot the following types of ready-to-eat foods: hot dogs, luncheon meats, cold cuts, fermented and dry sausage, and other deli-style meat and poultry products.

• Thoroughly reheating food can help kill any bacteria that might be present. If you cannot reheat these foods, do not eat them.

• Wash hands with hot, soapy water after handling these types of ready-to-eat foods. (Wash for at least 20 seconds.)

• Also wash cutting boards, dishes, and utensils. Thorough washing helps eliminate any bacteria that might get on your hands or other surfaces from food before it is reheated.

• Do not eat soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined or Mexican-style cheese. You can eat hard cheeses, processed cheeses, cream cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt.

• Do not drink raw, unpasteurized milk or eat foods made from it, such as unpasteurized cheese.

• Observe all expiration dates for perishable items that are precooked or ready-to-eat.
