December 28, 2007 - The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) has issued a warning regarding milk products from Whittier Farms in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts due to possible Listeria contamination. Three elderly men have died, an unborn child has died, and two other people have been sickened in a Listeria outbreak that has been associated with Whittier Farms milk. (Read about Listeria miscarriageand Listeria wrongful death.)
The cases occurred in June, October and November. Three of the people sickened were elderly residents and two were pregnant women from Worcester county. The elderly, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems are all at greater risk for contracting Listeria infections (listeriosis).
DNA fingerprinting conducted by the Massachusetts State Laboratory Institute showed that the Listeria bacteria causing these infections came from a common source, and Whittier Farms milk obtained at the dairy and in a patient's home tested positive for the outbreak strain of Listeria. Both in science and law, this establishes a clear link between the illnesses and Whittier Farms milk. (Read about Whittier Farms wrongful death.)
MDPH is recommending that consumers do not consume Whittier Farms milk products. Because the incubation period for Listeria can be as long as 70 days, anyone who has consumed the milk should watch for Listeria symptoms, including fever, muscle aches and sometimes gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. In pregnant women, the symptoms may be mild, but an infection can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or early delivery. Infants born with Listeria infections can become seriously ill and die from the infection. Learn more about Listeria and pregnancy.
