Well, the thing is that listeriosis is a rather common bacteria.

I have a friend who's worked in the food industry for decades now and he says that it's one of the most common ones.

Not that it makes it okay or anything. But there's clearly been a shift in the population's ability to come in contact with it and remain healthy, since it has been around for so long. We're more sensitive to it now, for some reason.

And, yeah, there's at least one cheese place (in Quebec City) that's been shut down because of listeriosis.
