Axar.az reports that according to the information of the Federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 43 people have been infected with the disease as a result of the contamination of the products produced by the company "Boar's Head Provisions Co" with the bacteria "Listeria monocytogenes" in 13 states of the USA.
