Summary
Melons may be responsible for the outbreak of Listeriosis in South Africa.
They have been responsible for outbreaks of Listeriosis recently in the USA and Australia.
All types of melons have been implicated.
In the USA they are known as canteloupes.
Bacteria thrive in the absence of an adequate cooling system.
South Africans are mad about watermelons and sponspek.
Listeriosis cannot be blamed solely on processed meats!
