Placer County issues listeriosis warning
By Barbara Barte Osborn, Sacramento Bee
Placer County health officials on Wednesday warned that a nationwide outbreak of listeriosis associated with commercially produced caramel apples may have extended locally.
Initial reports indicate that an El Dorado County resident recovering from listeriosis probably acquired the illness from a caramel apple purchased at a retail store in Placer County, said Robert Miller, the county’s public information officer, in a news release.
