Question

"Deli meats and cheeses have been linked to a listeria outbreak in 6 states"

Good topic to suggest for a fact-check. Don't forget to put it into the correct format. Something like this could work: Claim: Listeria is a big threat, with outbreaks currently in six states. However, it would be important to note that "big threat" could be more of an opinion and hard to fact-check what a "big threat" is to society.

Answer 1

I also found an article claiming the same thing. 16 people in 6 states have been infected with listeria, which has resulted in 1 death and 13 hospitalizations. These countries are spread out across the country and also says they are linked to deli meats and cheeses.
