Listeria kills three in two years, source traced to Dutch cold meat factory

Three people have died and one woman has had a miscarriage after eating cold meat contaminated with listeria, the public health institute RIVM said on Friday. All are thought to have become ill after eating meat products from the Offerman company over the past two years, the agency said. The source of the infection was traced by the RIVM and product safety board NVWA after an analysis of the different types of listeria infection this week. Raw food Listeria is found in meat which has not been properly cooked and in raw foods which have been kept for a long time, the RIVM said.
