Listeria has been in the news a lot in Canada recently with recalls from Maple Leaf, a major food company here.
CBC’s site about Listeria has succinct information about the bacteria.
I have some of that smoked meat in my fridge.

Been nice nowing ya Jody. Should have been a vegetarian.
I threw the box away when I bought the smoked meat weeks ago, so I don’t know the UPC or Best Before date. Safest thing to do would’ve been to throw it all out; of course, I didn’t: I had a smoked meat sandwich for supper with Dijon mustard. Delicious!
