Listeria has overtaken Salmonella as the main pathogen in incidents involving the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
FSA was notified of 1,837 food and feed safety incidents in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales during 2023/24. This is the lowest amount for the past six years.
While incidents have declined, the agency said it deals with more complex events and outbreaks, which take longer to resolve. Examples include fake branded Wonka chocolate and glycerol in slush ice drinks.
