THE FOOD SAFETY Authority of Ireland has recalled another mixed leaf product that may contain the harmful bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.

It’s the latest warning the FSAI has put out about such products after a series of recalls in July and August.

The recalled product is the 100g pack of Fresh Choice Market Mixed Leaves.

Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.

The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days.

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated products. Retailers are requested to remove the implicated products from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
