    One person has died and at least six other people have fallen ill after a spate of food poisoning in Victoria.

 

    The Department of Health confirmed there had been six cases of listeria in the past week, and said the cases were not linked.

 

    No information was provided on the deceased person, however all other patients have reported improved conditions.

 

    A health alert issued to health professionals warns them to “be alert for listeriosis in high-risk patients over the summer months”.

 

    High-risk patients include pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
