"I expect some more cases," Williams said.
The brooding period for listeria buttocks be as long as three months, and dissimilar most microbes that can cause nutrient sickness, listeria thrives at cool temperatures.

Ellen, Rachael Ray bag Emmies
Comedian Ellen DeGeneres and cooking-lifestyle guru Rachael Ray have shared the Daytime Emmy spotlight as they split television's top two awards for entertainment talks shows.
In another high point of the evening, Jeanne Cooper, the grand dame of America's longtime No. 1 soap opera, was named best lead actress in a drama series for her 35-year role as Katherine Chancellor on "The Young and the Restless."
It was the first Emmy win after eight nominations for Cooper, who is one of only two remaining "The Young and the Restless" cast members from the early days of the show.
"I bet you thought I died," the 79-year-old actress joked as she accepted her award, adding later, "This is totally shocking to me."
Veteran "General Hospital" star Anthony Geary, who plays the popular Luke Spencer character, won his sixth trophy as best lead actor. "General Hospital" was named best daytime drama series for a record 10th year.
The victory for "Rachael Ray" in the race for best talk show marked an upset triumph over "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which had won the prize in each of the last four years.
"Wow! Holy cat," a stunned Ray enthused on stage. "I really can't breathe."
Ray, whose syndicated series was spun off from recurrent appearances on Oprah Winfrey's show, has grown quickly into a ubiquitous brand highlighting a homespun, easy approach to cooking based on her "30 Minute Meals" concept.
She made headlines last month when a Dunkin' Donuts ad she appeared in was yanked after a Fox News Channel commentator complained the scarf Ray wore resembled a Muslim kaffiyeh.
LADIES OF 'THE VIEW' STILL BRIDESMAIDS
Although her program lost out to Ray, DeGeneres pulled off a triumph for a fourth straight year as best talk show host. In doing so, she prevailed again over the co-hosting ensemble of "The View," led by creator-producer Barbara Walters and newly installed moderator Whoopi Goldberg.
Another team of perennial joint nominees, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa of the morning show "Live with Regis and Kelly," extended their losing streak as well.
But Philbin, 76, was not sent home empty-handed. The veteran TV personality, who got his big break as Joey Bishop's sidekick in the 1960s and hosted the game show hit "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" decades later, received a lifetime achievement award recognizing his 47 years in the business.
DeGeneres' win capped a tumultuous year for the comedian in which she sparked a national uproar over an adopted puppy, ad-libbed her way through the writers strike and announced plans to wed her long-time partner, actress Portia de Rossi, after a California court ruling allowing gay marriage.
"I never take this for granted," DeGeneres, 50, said taking the stage to accept the prize. "This has been a crazy year and ... we've done a lot of crying and a lot of laughing, and I cried all by myself and then people laughed."
It was an obvious reference to tears DeGeneres shed last October when she recounted on the air how an animal rescue group took back a puppy she had adopted because she had given the dog, Iggy, to a friend without first notifying the agency.
Another bittersweet moment Friday night came as Jennifer Landon, 24, the daughter of the late TV star Michael Landon ("Bonanza," "Little House on the Prairie") saluted her father in French as she accepted her third consecutive award as best younger actress for her role on "As the World Turns."
"It was a little salute to my pops: 'For you always, I love you,'" she said backstage when asked for a rough translation.
The 35th annual edition of the awards was broadcast live on ABC from Hollywood's Kodak Theater, home of the Oscars.

Kings Of Leon Finishing Work On Fourth Album
Kings of Leon are wrapping-up the final touches to their next album, with hopes of releasing their fourth studio long-player in September.
Talking to Rolling Stone, frontman Caleb Followill says the medication he's on following surgery to repair his arm may have influenced the sound of the new material:
"I don't know if it was the pills or what, but the melodies were so much stronger than anything I've ever done - it's just really beautiful songs."
"I know I sound like a fucking cock right now, but this is the first time I've really been proud of myself, track for track," says Followill.
A title for the follow-up to 2007's 'Because Of The Times' has still yet to be given, but a few song titles have surfaced - 'Cold Desert' and 'Crawl'.

Tim Daniel, Putting It To Bed
His most prominent fans are Gary Barlow and Fern Britten and he happily claims credit for songs by Lemar, Delta Goodrem and Simon Webbe (though not the ones you know). Thus, it's safe to say that Tim Daniel probably doesn't lie awake at night tormented by dreams of high art and credibility. Now, after eight years of low-key backroom songwriting, and perhaps provoked into action by the monster success of the not dissimilar James Blunt, Daniel has finally decided to unleash his debut solo album upon us.
That the public will embrace him as eagerly and unexpectedly as they did Blunt is highly unlikely, though Daniel's pleasant C&A man looks and boyish, gentle voice mean it's not impossible. Musically, Putting It To Bed is a country stroll of an album; relaxing, meandering and unlikely to raise anyone's blood pressure. It starts brightly with the rather lovely title track, shot through with sweet falsetto and blessed with a warm hug of a chorus, followed by the breezily catchy single Digging My Heels.
From here the album veers between minor pleasure - the jaunty, jig paced It Ain't Working - and major dullness on tracks like Above Water, which sounds like a Feeling ballad drained of the melody. The sonic blueprint is busking guitar, pretty piano and often cloying strings, while the lyrics can be summed up by Endurance's self-help motto of ''keep hurting and healing, hurting and healing''. The album is rarely less than well crafted, but barely much more than that.
If this record is designed to keep Daniel in songwriting work, then there’s enough charm here to achieve its purpose, notably on the warm, huskily intimate You're Needed or the slick, Stevie Wonder haze of A New Life, both of which could be hits with an injection of charisma and production pizzazz. But if the intention is to launch himself as a star in his own right, Putting It To Bed simply lacks the necessary spark.

Lonely Drifter Karen, Grass Is Singing
Lonely Drifter Karen, Grass Is Singing
Clearly Karenic drifts from Capital of Austria to Goteborg to Barcelona, gypsying through floorshow and twinkly avant-pop. Tanja Frinta sings in a henry Sweet and funny story stress, accompanied by a Mallorcan piano player and an Italian Drummer. The songs ar as pan-European: Wistful and serene cabaret hoarseness gives way to off-kilter umpah ballads. Frinta's charming melodies owe much to the musicals of her youth and Weimar floor show, and ar a perfect tense familiar in her lyrics. Stories almost owls and carrousel horses and her take up on falling in love in French capital via the tale of artificer 'Professor Dragon' display her fecund vision.
But Lonely Vagrant Karen draw you in to their magical world mainly and gratifyingly with good euphony. The arrangements by piano player Marc Meliá Sobrevias make the to the highest degree of pianoforte and subtle percussion (courtesy of Giorgio Menossi) and later, Wurlitzer and music box, creating a rich landscape on which the stories are played out. Reckon True Desire or Climb whizz along fast over a little mound, or imagine trotting along to La Hierba Canta.
Sometimes the grass sings a familiar birdcall. Here are many snatches of tunes and sounds used elsewhere, simply the sonic human race created by LDK is oceanic abyss and robust sufficiency to possess them. Frinta's spokesperson tin can sometimes go irritation - a spot lonesome and lackluster - merely like Joanna Newsome or Hanna Hukkelberg on that point is an undeniable and earnest sweetness; you stimulate into it finally. And as in the vocal Casablanca, just as you believe you've had sufficiency the tonal pattern switches and a whole different threshold creaks open up. This is the most enjoyable aspect of this album, it drifts into itself and then come out again. It drifts into fellow territory and then away. And finally it drifts into your dreams and hangs about there, beingness nice and reminding you of things you thought you had forgotten.
