The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of frozen shakes sold to nursing homes, hospitals, and other institutions, due to their link to a deadly listeria outbreak that has resulted in at least 11 fatalities since 2018. Most cases involved individuals in long-term care facilities. Investigations beginning in November 2024 revealed that these frozen drinks, manufactured by Lyons ReadyCare and distributed by Sysco Imperial, contained the lethal bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. Continued investigations are ongoing as the CDC collaborates with the FDA to address the outbreak, which has led to recent cases across 21 states.
