Listeria Awareness for Caterers & Care Settings

Listeria is rare but can cause serious illness, particularly in pregnant people, newborn babies, older people and anyone with a weakened immune system – the people often served by hospitals and care homes. Learn which foods carry the highest risk, how Listeria behaves, and the practical controls caterers and care staff can use to protect vulnerable people.
