Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
Nature Of Danger:
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.

Consumers:
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch, should they have it in their freezer.
If the pork has already been eaten, cooking should remove the risk. Raw meat should always be handled hygienically when defrosting and preparing it, and also cooked thoroughly before eating it.
