Info re Listeria in U.S.

Hey mommies-to-be.  Just wanted to let those of us in the U.S. know that the CDC announced there's an outbreak of listeria possibly associated with prepackaged, commercially produced caramel apples.  28 people have come down with it, and 9 of those occurred in pregnant women.  Wanted to let you all know since listeria is especially bad for pregnant women and allow you all to follow the story.  (Of course, the CDC doesn't have information on what brands, if any, to avoid)

More info here: http://www.cdc.gov/listeria/outbreaks/caramel-apples-12-14/index.html

Crazy. Of all things Carmel apples would not have been on my Listeria radar.
