Listeria has been found in products including cold cuts, hot dogs, sausages, unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses, smoked seafood and raw vegetables and fruits.

However, it also contained traces of brucellosis bacteria, an infectious disease associated with unpasteurized milk — a stark reminder of the deep connection between cheese, milk and the rhythms of seasonality.
