Health officials have traced a persistent Listeria strain back to a cheese plant located in Brentwood, New York. The investigation reveals that the specific strain was first sampled from a patient in March 2023, though the source remained unknown for years.
According to Food Industry Executive, the connection to the facility was finally established after a family in Brentwood became ill in May 2026. This discovery has led to a significant recall effort to prevent further infections.
