Municipal water and raw clams have also been associated with *Campylobacter* outbreaks. Historically, few foods have been recalled due to the presence of *Campylobacter* bacteria. Raw milk (milk that has not been pasteurized) has occasionally been recalled for *Campylobacter* contamination. ### More information about Campylobacter [January 11, 2022 ###### Preventing Campylobacter Outbreaks: What you need to know Campylobacter jejuni grows poorly on properly refrigerated foods but does survive refrigeration and will grow if contaminated foods are left out at room temperature.
