I just wanted to mention that Listeria is quite common on the outside of 
fruits and vegetables. My husband works in the fruit industry and here in 
Perth, Western Australia there are regular random checks of growers fruit 
and vegetable produce for, among other things, Listeria - often with 
positive results. So that's why you should wash all your fruit and 
vegetables thoroughly in good quality water before consumption.
