Another woman from Wyoming died from complications of listeriosis on Friday, and health officials are trying to determine if the death is part of the outbreak linked to cantaloupe grown in Colorado by Jensen Farms.
The outbreak is becoming the most deadly foodborne outbreak in U.S. history, with 9 confirmed listeriosis wrongful death cases linked to the outbreak already and many more deaths being investigated, including cases our law firm is investigating. The nine confirmed outbreak deaths include two in Colorado, four in New Mexico and one each in Oklahoma, Maryland and Nebraska.
Wyoming has reported three listeria infections in the past week, more than it normally reports in a year, Wyoming Department of Health spokeswoman Kim Deti told the Denver Post. Two of the cases were not fatal. They were both in Laramie County and have been linked to Jensen Farms Colorado cantaloupe.
