Twelve people have died and another eight have tested positive for listeria in Denmark after eating popular sausage cold cuts, authorities have confirmed. The outbreak of listeria began last September, but most of the deaths have occurred in the last three months.

'The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries said the source of the outbreak was finally traced on Monday to a popular type of cold cut called Rullepolse, which means rolled sausage in Danish, produced by a food manufacturer near Copenhagen.'

'The government only asked SSI to investigate a possible outbreak on June 26 and it took more than a month to find the source -- manufacturer Jørn A. Rullepølser A/S in Hedehusene, 30 km (20 miles) west of Copenhagen.'
