Answer:

up to 3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The consumption of the bacteria-containing food and possible development of symptoms can be separated by months, making Listeria infections challenging, especially during pregnancy. The fetus is at risk for premature delivery, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
