Listeria outbreak

There's been a nasty outbreak of listeria in processed meats in Canada. Every few days more investigations into deaths are announced. So far, Listeriosis has killed at least 15 people.
Consumers have been told to avoid so many products, including the Kirkland Signature food platters at Costco warehouse (in Canada, at least. I'm not sure about the U.S.) What amazed me is the number of products recalled. It's practically a book.

BECOME VEGETARIANS WHILE YOU CAN!!!!! How scary this is. (Almost as dangerous as the Newsday cafeteria is now)

Squirrelmama beat me to it -- I was going to say, "All the more reason to be vegetarians!"
