About Cronobacter
Food contaminated with Cronobacter can make you seriously ill, even if it doesn’t look or smell spoiled, and in rare cases, can cause a fatal infection. Cronobacter can rarely cause infections of the bloodstream or central nervous system and, particularly in newborns, can cause serious intestinal infections (necrotizing enterocolitis) and sepsis (septicaemia), which can be severe and often fatal.
