Listeriosis is a hazardous, intrusive disease brought about by eating Listeria-polluted food. In spite of the fact that individuals can in some cases foster listeriosis as long as two months in the wake of eating defiled food, side effects ordinarily start in the span of a few days, frequently with loose bowels. Listeriosis is treated with anti-microbials.

In addition, DOH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the following for all other enoki mushrooms:

  1. Thoroughly cook enoki mushrooms before serving or consuming them, do not serve or consume them raw.
  2. Do not use raw enoki mushrooms as garnish.
  3. Do not add raw enoki mushrooms on top of soup dishes right before serving. The enoki mushrooms will not get hot enough to kill Listeria.
  4. Keep raw enoki mushrooms separate from foods that won’t be cooked.
  5. Wash hands after handling raw enoki mushrooms.
