💬
Listeria monocytogenes
Severity
No illnesses have been reported yet. Update to recall with corrected traceability details for various brands of potted coriander recalled by O'Hanlon Herbs. Products were sold via retailers including Aldi, Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Nolans, Mortons, Marks & Spencer, Lidl and SuperValu. Products were sold nationwide.
Who's At Risk?
Pregnant women, young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. This is because Listeria is more likely to spread beyond their gut to other parts of their body, resulting in a severe condition known as invasive listeriosis.
Symptoms
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn in pregnant women. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It can take up to 10 weeks for some people to have symptoms.
