CFS urges public not to consume a batch of imported prepackaged salami suspected to be contaminated with Salmonella

Hong Kong, 29/07/2025

Original link

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department today (July 29) urged the public not to consume a batch of imported prepackaged salami, as the product might have been contaminated with Salmonella, a pathogen. The trade should stop using or selling the affected batch of the product immediately if they possess it.

Product details are as follows:

Product name: Primo Reserve Hot Sopressa Salami
Brand: Primo
Pack size: 80 grams
Place of origin: Australia
Use-by date: September 9, 2025
Distributor: Parknshop (HK) Limited

A spokesman for the CFS said, “The CFS, through its Food Incident Surveillance System, noted a notification from the Singapore Food Agency that the above-mentioned product might have been contaminated by Salmonella and is being recalled. Upon learning of the incident, the CFS immediately followed-up the case. A preliminary investigation found that the above-mentioned distributor had sold the affected product.”

The distributor concerned has stopped sales, removed from shelves the affected product and has initiated a recall according to the CFS’s instructions. Members of the public may call its hotline at 2606 8658 during office hours for enquiries about the recall.

“Salmonella infection may cause fever and gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. The effects on infants, young children, the elderly and persons with a weak immune system could be more severe and may even lead to death,” the spokesman said.

The CFS will alert the trade to the incident, and will continue to follow up and take appropriate action. The investigation is ongoing.

Original link

Alert Summary
Category 1:For Action
Alert Notification:2025.36
Product Identification:Eat & Go ⁠Roast Chicken Basil Pesto Pasta With Cheese; pack size: 284g
Batch CodeUse by date: 31/07/2025
Country Of Origin:Ireland

Message:

The above batch of Eat & Go Roast Chicken Pesto Pasta With Cheese is being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale. There is currently no evidence that this food recall is linked with the listeriosis outbreak related to ready-to-heat meals or the recall of spinach and mixed leaves products.

Nature Of Danger:

Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days. 

Action Required:

Manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, caterers & retailers:

Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.  

Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.  

Consumers:

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch. 

Delicates Artisanal would like to inform the public that following supervision by the Food Service at the Ministry of Health, there is a suspicion of the environmental presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the Delicates Artisanal factory.
