Public health officials in an Australian state have warned people about a rise in Listeria infections.
New South Wales (NSW) Health is reminding people who are immunocompromised, pregnant, or aged over 65 years old to avoid foods that can cause listeriosis.
There are typically 20 to 30 cases of listeriosis reported each year in NSW.
At the end of May 2023, 17 listeriosis notifications had been recorded, which was above the five-year average of 10 cases for the same period. No common foods had been identified and whole genome sequencing has not detected any clustering.
Keira Glasgow, director of NSW Health’s One Health branch, said the advice follows a rise in reported cases and the number of people treated in hospitals for their illnesses.
“Already in 2023, we’ve recorded 25 cases of listeriosis among NSW residents, which is more than we usually expect to see in a whole year,” she said.
“There are a range of foods that present very real risks to people who are older, pregnant or have underlying health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart, liver, or kidney disease, or who are on medications such as corticosteroids which impact immune systems.”
People at increased risk of Listeria infections are advised to avoid certain foods, to take care not to contaminate fruit when cutting it and not to store cut fruit and vegetables that are eaten raw, as Listeria survives refrigeration.
Risky foods include cold delicatessen meats, smoked seafood, rockmelon (cantaloupe), pâté or meat spreads, unpasteurized milk products, sprouted seeds, soft cheeses and soft serve ice cream.
According to CTV News, the number of lab-confirmed cases of E. coli climbed again Sunday, rising to 190, stemming from a shared kitchen that 11 Calgary Fueling Brains daycares use but four daycares have reported no E. coli cases at all.
An Alberta Health Services (AHS) spokesperson sent updated figures to CTV News, showing that there are currently 27 patients receiving care in hospital. Seven others have been discharged since the beginning of the outbreak.
The number of patients confirmed to have severe hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) rose to 20 from 19 on Saturday.
“Based on the epidemiology of the cases we’ve seen to date, it is highly likely the source of this outbreak is food that was distributed from the central kitchen,” AHS said. “At this point, AHS has not been able to identify a food item that was the source. We continue to investigate.”
According to numerous press reports, several 911 calls were made around 4 p.m. Saturday alerting first responders to illnesses occurring at Kumo Japanese Steakhouse in Stony Brook.
A Suffolk County spokesperson said a total of 28 people reported getting sick. Twelve of them were rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment and were discharged.
The Suffolk Department of Health Services believes the likely culprit was “mishandled and improperly stored cooked rice that was served” at a restaurant on Nesconset Highway.
Witnesses reported that people were vomiting on scene.
The Suffolk County Health Department the incident was a result of the restaurant mishandling and improperly storing cooked rice. Out of the 15 violations issued against Kumo Japanese Steakhouse, eight were for risk factors for foodborne illness.
Very few people realize that improperly stored cooked rice can be a cause of food poisoning.
