Irish Hospital Listeria Outbreak – Warning Over Hospital Sandwiches

Belfast Telegraph

Health trusts across Northern Ireland have been advised to stop serving sandwiches from a specific food supplier following an outbreak of listeria which claimed the life of a patient.

Four patients in the Northern Health & Social Care Trust were affected by the outbreak — an elderly woman being treated at Antrim Area Hospital died on the morning of April 8 and the last case was confirmed on April 20.

I think this needs to be extended to other high risk foods served in hospitals and have done for quite a while.
