Reason for the report:PathogenFurther information:
In “Super Fruta – Enoki Mushroom”, Listeria monocytogenes was quantitatively detected.
In the present sample “Super Fruta – Enoki Mushroom”, the safety notice is only applied in English to the packaging “MUST BE COOKED BEFORE CONSUMPTION” without any indication of the obligatory temperature and duration of heating, and consequently the consumer is not informed with certainty that the Enoki mushrooms must undergo a further treatment before consumption, which leads to the safe killing of L. monocytogenes (Art. 14 para. 3 lit. a of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002), there is a health risk, in particular, but not exclusively, for consumers with particular health sensitivities (e.g. children, the elderly and/or immunosuppressed persons) (Art. 14 para. 4 Reg. (EC) No. 178/2002).Possible consequences:
Listeria usually manifests itself within 14 days of infection with diarrhea and fever. In particular, pregnant women, seniors and people with a weakened immune system can develop more severe courses of the disease with blood poisoning and meningitis. In pregnant women, even without symptoms, the unborn child can be harmed.
People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical help and point out a possible Listeria infection.
Pregnant women who have eaten this food should seek medical treatment and advice even without symptoms. For other people without symptoms, this does not make sense.
