UK and Canada – Deaths and Illness in Hospitals due to Listeria Sandwiches in Britain and Canada

Food Poison Journal

Three people have died recently in England from listeriosis with a link to eating pre-made sandwiches and at least three others have been sickened by the deadly bacteria. The patients died at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool.

Cases of Listeria infection have been reported in six hospital patients in England. Sandwiches and salads linked to the sick people have been withdrawn and the supplier, The Good Food Chain, has voluntarily ceased production while the investigation continues.
