Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soft cheeses (such as brie, feta, and blue cheese) and deli meats have been found to be commonly contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. It is important to handle and store these foods properly to reduce the risk of infection. Undercooked shellfish and water can be contaminated with other types of bacteria and viruses, while gravy and beef are more commonly associated with other types of foodborne illness. Raw produce and eggs can also be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, but it is less common than with soft cheeses and deli meats.
