On Your Health this morning, the CDC is issuing an
alert about a wisteria outbreak involving deli meat.
28 people have been sickened across 12 states.
That includes 2 in Massachusetts.
Two people have died, one in New Jersey, another in
Illinois.
The CDC says people who got sick reported eating meat
sliced at deli counters, not prepackaged deli meat.
Listeria is especially harmful for anyone who's pregnant, age 65
or older or has a weakened immune system.
And for those people, the CDC recommends not eating deli
meat unless it's heated to 165°.
