Listeria monocytogenes infection can lead to mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can develop into more severe complications. Pregnant women, babies, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable. The incubation period for the illness averages three weeks but can range between three and seventy days.
