Can listeria be passed through breastmilk?
Bacteria may pass through breastmilk but in very minimal amounts. If you are not ill, it is recommended you continue to breastfeed. If you become ill, it is recommended you consult with your doctor. If a person has eaten a contaminated product and does not have any symptoms, there is no need to have any tests or treatment, even if you are in a high-risk group.
