Listeria is a Deadly Bacterium

A bacterium that a lot of people don’t know much about but should is listeria.  It can be found mostly in unpasteurized dairy products, vegetables, meats, and even processed foods.  It can be very dangerous, and it could even claim the lives of its victims.  It has really changed the way that food companies have to get their building inspected.  Companies now make sure that tests for listeria are conducted more often in all parts of the building such as the floors and ceilings.  Also, any area that comes into contact with the food is checked for the bacterium in order to make sure it is safe.
