Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 09/02/26

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.
