A luxury restaurant in Stockholm linked to a severe listeria outbreak resulted in four cases of sepsis among diners. Coco & Carmen, the affected establishment, temporarily closed as health authorities investigate the outbreak, expanding tracing to guests from September 23-27. Listeria is a bacterium causing listeriosis, potentially leading to sepsis, particularly risky for pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The restaurant, under scrutiny, awaits results of the investigation to ensure food safety compliance before reopening.
