  • An outbreak of listeria infections linked with frozen supplemental shakes has made at least 38 people ill in 21 states, with 37 hospitalizations and 11 deaths, the US Food and Drug Administration said Friday.

The article from CNN, published on February 21, 2025, discusses a recall of certain nutritional shakes due to potential Listeria contamination. The affected products, which include various flavors of protein and meal replacement shakes, were distributed by a company named "NutriBoost." The recall was initiated after routine testing by the FDA found traces of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. The article outlines the symptoms of Listeria infection, which include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and advises consumers to check their supplies for the recalled products, identified by specific lot numbers, and to either return them or safely dispose of them. The company has issued an apology and is cooperating with health authorities to investigate the source of the contamination.
