Finland – Salmonella outbreak affects 450 in Jyväskylä, Linked to imported lettuce

Posted on July 7, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Outbreak News Today

In a follow-up on the salmonella outbreak in the Jyväskylä region of Finland, the City of Jyväskylä said imported lettuce served in day care centres has been confirmed as the source of an outbreak of salmonella bacterial infections that affected about 450 children and day care centre staff.

The salad contained domestic cucumber, peas and foreign iceberg lettuce. Domestically-produced cucumbers and peas were also suspected to be the cause of the outbreak, but the city said tests had revealed no connection between these products and the salmonella infections.

The most likely source of Salmonella is iceberg lettuce, which came to Finland from Germany via Sweden.

New Zealand – Nationwide recall of Countdown branded potato egg & bacon prepack salad – Listeria monocytogenes

Posted on July 7, 2021 by | Leave a comment

MPI

Countdown branded potato egg & bacon prepack salad with a use by date of 13 July 2021 is being recalled as it may contain listeria bacteria.

Countdown initiated the recall from its Countdown, Fresh Choice, and Supervalue supermarkets nationwide following the discovery of listeria as part of routine testing.

More information, including the use by date of the affected product

To date, New Zealand Food Safety and Countdown have not received any reports of illness.

Listeria can make people sick (listeriosis) if they consume contaminated food.

New Zealand Food Safety national manager food compliance services, Melinda Sando, says people who have purchased the affected product should throw it away or return it to the retailer for a full refund.

“Healthy adults are likely to experience only mild infection, causing mild diarrhoea and flu-like symptoms.

“However, listeriosis infection can be serious among vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborn babies, people with weakened immune systems, and the frail and elderly.

“For those in the high-risk groups, listeriosis typically has an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks (or longer) before symptoms appear.

“If you have consumed any of these products and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice,” says Ms Sando.
