UK – Port health agency stops import of Salmonella tainted chicken

Posted on July 31, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Port health officials in England have blocked a shipment of cooked chicken from entering the country because it was contaminated with Salmonella.

Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority (SCPHA), part of East Suffolk Council, recently discovered Salmonella Mbandaka in 21,800-kilograms (48,000 pounds) of cooked chicken imported to the Port of Felixstowe.

In the UK, more than 130 people are sick with Salmonella Mbandaka after eating chicken products from Ukraine. Four patients were admitted to hospital and one person has died.

Intensified Official Controls started in April. This included a requirement that the next 10 imported consignments from the implicated establishment would be subject to extra inspections.

Health hazard from Bacillus cereus

Packaging Unit: 170g
Durability: 07/30/2023
Lot identification: EAN: 4270001908735
Additional Information:

Bacillus cereus

The pathogen Bacillus cereus can produce toxins. In this case, its intake usually leads to sudden nausea and vomiting or diarrhea and abdominal cramps within a few hours. The symptoms usually subside on their own within a day. Babies, small children and the elderly in particular can develop more severe illnesses. Anyone who has eaten this food and develops severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report possible Bacillus cereus poisoning. It makes no sense to seek preventive medical treatment without symptoms.

Distribution
Ontario
SSS - Mushroom (enoki) - 200 g - Front
SSS - Mushroom (enoki) - 200 g - UPC

The affected product is being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

  • If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider
  • Check to see if you have recalled products
  • Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products
  • Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
