Listeria monocytogenes
Severity
No illnesses have been reported yet. 2 batches are affected. Products were sold nationwide at Four Square, New World, and Pak'nSave supermarkets.
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 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.
