Foodborne Pathogens

Deli meats, raw milk, and cut melons are common sources of listeria, with the risk being lower in pre-sliced supermarket products. E. Coli and Salmonella, often linked to fecal contamination, can be found in a variety of foods, including eggs, nuts, and leafy greens. Notably, raw cookie dough poses risks due to both E. Coli and flour contamination, highlighting the importance of food safety practices.
