NBC News medical fellow Dr. Akshay Syal takes a look at the rise in popularity of mushroom edibles and the FDA's investigation into possible illnesses related to the product.
Two people have died in a listeria outbreak across 12 states in the U.S. that is likely linked to sliced deli meats, according to the CDC. In total, 28 people have been infected and hospitalized with the disease as of Friday in an outbreak that began in May, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
' 'This information suggests that meats sliced at the deli are a likely source of this outbreak,' the CDC said. 'However, at this time CDC doesn’t have enough information to say which deli meats are the source of this outbreak.' There is no information that shows people are getting listeria from prepackaged deli meats, the CDC said.
