A listeria outbreak linked to frozen nutritional milkshakes is to blame for 12 deaths and dozens of hospitalizations, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed Monday following an investigation that spanned years.

The frozen shakes were served at hospitals and long-term care facilities, sickening 38 people and resulting in 11 deaths in 21 states, according to the FDA.

An ongoing Listeria outbreak has mostly affected people living in long-term care facilities and people who were already hospitalized prior to becoming sick from the infection.

The supplemental shakes are labeled under the brands Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial and were sold to institutional customers, including hospitals and long-term care facilities, officials said.
