Listeria outbreak
- Wednesday, 15 August 2018
Due to recent concerns over Listeria recalls on frozen vegetable packaging, which originally raised alarms in Europe. Vegetables which carry Listeria monocytogenes can cause Listeriosis.
Nationwide product recalls on selected frozen products have been raised as a precautionary measure. Those at high risk are pregnant woman and their unborn babies, elderly people and people who have a low immune system.
