As of April 17, 2020, 36 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from 17 states in the US. The disease they suffered from is called Listeriosis. Listeriosis can cause different symptoms, depending on the person and the part of the body affected. Pregnant women typically experience only fever and other flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue and muscle aches. However, infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn. People other than pregnant women symptoms are headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions in addition to fever and muscle aches.
State and local public health officials interviewed ill people about the foods they ate in the month before they became ill. Twelve out of 22 (55%) reported eating mushrooms, including enoki, portobello, white, button, cremini, wood ear, maitake, and oyster. Later, Epidemiologic, traceback, and laboratory evidence indicates that enoki mushrooms labeled as “Product of Korea” are the likely source of this outbreak. The products were known to came from H&C Food Inc. (on April 7, 2020), Guan's Mushroom Co. (on March 23, 2020), and Sun Hong Foods, Inc. (on March 9, 2020). In response to the situation, the three companies recalled the enoki mushrooms.
Preventing further outbreak, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, advises that people who are more likely– pregnant women, adults to get Listeria infections - pregnant women, adults age 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems, such as people with cancer or on dialysis – avoid eating any enoki mushrooms from Korea (Republic of Korea) even if they are not part of the recalls until they learn more about the source and distribution of the enoki mushrooms.
CDC asked citizens who have stocks on enoki mushroom which originated from Korea to either return the products or throw them away should the country of origins are unclear. CDC also encourages people to wash and sanitize any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with the recalled enoki mushrooms. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and easily spread to other foods and surfaces. When buying, ordering, or eating out, check with stores and restaurants to make sure they do not use enoki mushrooms from Korea. If they don’t know where their enoki mushrooms are from, don’t buy or order the product. CDC pledges a commitment that they will provide updates when more information is available.
