But what can you do reduce your risk of becoming infected? Listeria is a hardy germ, so determined to stick around that it can continue to grow while refrigerated, which even fellow bacterial villains salmonella and E. Coli cannot do. In the United States, listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness, killing about 260 a year, according to the CDC.
