Posted on March 29, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

CFS

Issue Date	28.3.2023
Source of Information	Centre for Food Safety – Routine Food Surveillance Programme.
Food Product	Prepackaged frozen suckling pig ham
Product Name and Description	Product name: German Suckling Pig Cured Ham Cooked (Sliced) Brand: BECK Place of origin: Germany Packer: Galleon International Limited Net weight: 180 grams Best-before date: May 1, 2024
Reason For Issuing Alert	The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) collected the above-mentioned prepackaged frozen suckling pig ham sample from a retail outlet in Jordan for testing under its routine Food Surveillance Programme.

According to the Microbiological Guidelines for Food, if relevant ready-to-eat food contains Listeria monocytogenes at a level of more than 100 per gram, it is considered unsatisfactory
Action Taken by the Centre for Food Safety	According to the CFS’s instructions, the packer concerned has initiated a recall of the affected batch of the product. For the sake of prudence, the CFS has also instructed the packer to suspend the ready-to-eat food production line to carry out thorough cleaning and disinfection. The CFS also collected food and environmental samples for testing, and gave health advice to the operators and staff of the food factory concerned. The CFS will alert the trade to the incident, and will continue to follow up and take appropriate action.
Advice to the Trade	The trade should stop using or selling the product concerned immediately if they possess it.
Advice to Consumers	Do not consume the affected product if they have bought any.
