Thanks for the informative article!

One small error:
"don’t eat ... hotdogs and cold deli meats. Avoid smoked seafood unless it is canned. Don’t give these foods to a baby or small child."

You need to correct this. Cooking kills listeria. While you should avoid serving uncooked hotdogs, properly cooked hotdogs should not pose a listeria risk.

Also the term "small child" is ambiguous. According to the CDC only infants are in the high risk group.

Thanks again!
