More frozen veggies being recalled due to listeria fears
Another day, another recall of frozen vegetables due to listeria fears.
One-kilogram packs of Black & Gold Mixed Vegetables are being recalled from IGA, Campbells and Independent Grocers across NSW, Victoria and Tasmania due to fears they contain the potentially deadly bacteria.
Consumers are advised not to eat the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a refund, the NSW Food Authority says.
In February and March, six people died after a national outbreak of listeria linked to rockmelon.
Early last month, Woolworths, IGA and Aldi supermarkets removed a number of frozen vegetable products from their shelves due to listeria fears after the bacteria were discovered in frozen spinach and green bean samples from a Hungarian processing plant.
Eating food containing listeria generally has little effect on most people, but older people and those with compromised immune systems are vulnerable. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhoea.
Anyone with concerns should see their doctor.
