Listeria and Botox risk, here are the new calls from the Ministry of Health
This time the Ministry of Health recalled a sweet gorgonzola for listeria risk and a pesto with wild fennel that could contain botulinum. All the details on the products withdrawn from supermarket shelves
New calls from the Ministry of Health. This time the product that could cause other cases of listeria infection is a sweet gorgonzola, but also the suspicion of the risk of botulinum in a pesto with wild fennel.
THE LATEST SUSPECTED PRODUCT
The finished product under the magnifying glass of the health authorities this time is a batch of Gorgonzola Dolce DOP under the Italian Pascoli brand.
The Ministry of Health has warned that it will be withdrawn from the market last Friday due to the "possible presence of listeria monocytogenes", the bacterium responsible for the latest cases of listeriosis.
The Gelmini Carlo Dairy, based in Besate (Milan), has ordered the recall from the market of lot 218246252, sold in packs of 300 grams in Eurospin stores, due to microbiological risk. The identification mark is IT 03 39 CE and the expiry date is November 8, 2022.
The recommendation, as always, is "not to consume the product and to return it to the point of sale for replacement or refund".
OTHER RETIRED PRODUCTS
This latest retreat follows those that took place in recent weeks which involved some batches of sausages , salmon sandwiches and pancakes .
THE CASES OF LISTERIOSIS
According to the European Commission 's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (Rasff), meanwhile, the numbers of infected people (66) and deaths (3) remain stable.
BOTULINO ALARM
Also last Friday, another recall appeared on the website of the Ministry of Health, not for the risk of listeria but for "potential proliferation of dangerous bacterial flora (C. botulinunr) due to incorrect acidification of the product (pH out of standard)".
The product that could contain Botox concerns packs of 190 grams of wild fennel pesto produced and packaged by the company Alicos Srl of Trapani. The lot is number 15ST22 and the expiry date is September 15, 2024.
