Are Clover Leaf products susceptible to listeria or listeriosis?
No, Clover Leaf products are not susceptible to listeria or listeriosis. Shelf stable cans and pouches are put through a retorting process, which means cooked at very high temperatures, long enough to kill any and all bacteria. This includes completely eliminating any risk of Listeria monocytogenes (pronounced mono-cy-ta-jen-eez). In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recommend consumption of shelf-stable canned fish, seafood, meat and fruit products as a means of avoiding the risk of food-borne illnesses such a listeriosis (pron. lis-teery-osis).
