Do peanuts contain listeria?

Probably not: Listeria has been associated with milk and milk products like, brie cheese, and most recently cantalope, but not peanuts.

Listeria: Women trying to avoid listeriosis are advised to avoid soft, unpasteurized, cheeses, and I suppose fresh wet unroasted peanuts might possibly be contaminated, but typical peanuts in a jar or can should be listeria-free.
