Another day, another reason I'm thankful I don't eat meat anymore
You can also get listeriosis from fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts. It's not a disease that's exclusive to meat or animal products. Some of the biggest listeria outbreaks have been from eating melons, in particular cantaloupes, containing listeria bacteria. Improperly frozen vegetable packs can also contain listeria. The largest listeria outbreak in history was from processed meat in South Africa, I think nearly 100 people died. Improperly made nut milks can also contain listeria bacteria and have lead to multiple deaths in Canada.
It's important to wash your fruits and vegetables, especially if you're planning on eating them raw as listeria bacteria can multiply at refrigeration temperatures. However that means you have to be careful with nut milks and animal milks.
