Which product has the Ministry of Health withdrawn for listeria risk?
Today a new announcement by the Ministry of Health appeared regarding the withdrawal from the market of another product due to a "microbiological non-compliance" due to a possible presence of the bacterium listeria. All the details on the French product
Not just sausages and salmon sandwiches. The Ministry of Health has published an information in which it recommends not to consume another product for listeria risk: this time it is the chocolate pancakes of the Bernard Jarnoux Crepier brand.
Here are all the details.
THE RECALL OF THE MINISTRY
A new call for "possible presence of listeria monocytogenes", the bacterium responsible for the cases of listeriosis recorded in the last two months, appeared today on the website of the Ministry of Health.
After a few batches of frankfurters from the Tre Valli farm, marketed under various brands, and the salmon and mayonnaise sandwiches, which involved Allegri Flavors, it is the turn of the chocolate pancakes from the French company Bernard Jarnoux Crepier.
THE LOT WITHDRAWAL
The company, based in Lamballe, France, on October 6, ordered the recall from the market, as a precaution, of batch 256 of the product, sold in packs of 6 pieces (150 grams) and with expiry date 11 / 10/2022 for microbiological risk.
The recommendation to consumers, as also reiterated by the ministry, is "not to consume the product, to bring it back to the point of sale for refund or replacement".
THE CASES OF LISTERIOSIS
Meanwhile, according to the European Commission 's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (Rasff), the numbers of infected people (66) and deaths (3) remain stable.
In Italy, even the case of the elderly man who died a few days ago in Campobasso, albeit in serious condition due to some previous pathologies, is linked to listeriosis due to a dairy product. He is the latest victim after another 4 cases in our country accused of sausage and salmon sandwiches .
In fact, in most cases, people are affected after consuming contaminated food .
BECAUSE THE LISTERY CAN BE SO SERIOUS
In many cases, as the Ministry of Health also explains, especially when it comes to healthy children or adults, a contaminated food rarely leads to serious illness, but in debilitated, immunosuppressed subjects and in pregnant women the consequences can be more dangerous.
The severity of the symptoms, however, varies considerably according to the infectious dose and the state of health of the affected individual.
