People at Risk - Pregnant Women and Newborns



CDC estimates that Listeria is the third leading cause of death from food poisoning in the United States. About 1,600 people get sick from Listeria each year, and about 260 die. Pregnant women and their newborns are much more likely to get a Listeria infection, which is called listeriosis.

  • Use a thermometer to make sure your refrigerator is 40°F or lower and your freezer is 0°F or lower.
  • Keep raw meat away from fresh produce and other ready-to-eat food, to avoid contamination.
  • Thaw or marinate foods in the refrigerator, never on the counter or in the kitchen sink.
  • Wash fruits and vegetables (even if you plan to peel them), but do not wash meat, poultry or eggs!
  • Use separate cutting boards for raw produce and for raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs.
  • Use a food thermometer to be sure food is cooked to its proper temperature.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in shallow covered containers and use within 3-4 days.
