“Listeria is, arguably, the most dangerous of the common food borne bacteria. It is able to get past some of the body’s most impressive barriers, including the blood-brain barrier and the neo-natal barrier, and it is spread so easily. It grows rapidly, even in refrigeration, and is common in lunch meats and unpasteurized dairy products.”

Salmonella food poisoning is caused by consuming food or water contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. While most cases resolve without long-term…

E. coli infections, particularly those caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), can result in severe complications, including Hemolytic Uremic…

“The defining characteristic of STEC is the production of Shiga toxins, which are virulent proteins that disrupt cellular function by inhibiting protein synthesis, leading to cell death. The disease is often most noted for the bloody stools, with large amounts of blood in the diarrhea.”

“There have ben significant advances, for sure, but outbreaks continue to happen,” says Simon, who has filed thousands of food poisoning lawsuits and claims. In short, there a a number of key areas where progress has been made, where challenges have arisen, and where the the role of food poisoning litigation has grown in importance.

“I admit that raw milk is a controversial topic with passionate arguments on both sides. While it is true that it is rich in nutrients, enzymes, and probiotics, the potential risks associated with consuming raw milk are significant, particularly in terms of exposure to harmful pathogens. These risks are amplified for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women. I strongly suggest avoiding unpasteurized dairy out-right, but especially for these people in our families.”

“innovations in genomic sequencing, AI, climate change research, and novel food safety technologies offer promising avenues for addressing the challenges of foodborne illness transmission. With global food systems becoming more interconnected and environmental pressures on the rise, continued research into the transmission dynamics of foodborne pathogens will be essential for safeguarding public health.”

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have uncovered a novel mechanism by which bacteria may develop…

In 2024, a significant outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes was traced to Boar’s Head deli products, specifically liverwurst, a type of German sausage.
