Bern, January 7th, 2021 – Listeria were detected on corn kernels as part of internal controls. These corn kernels were used in various salad products for Migros. A health hazard cannot be ruled out. Migros immediately withdrew the affected products from the sale and started a recall.
What is the risk of the products?
An infection with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is usually mild or even without symptoms in people with an intact immune system. In immuno-compromised people, a number of severe symptoms can develop with, under certain circumstances, fatal outcome. During pregnancy, Listeria infection can lead to a miscarriage or the child can be born with blood poisoning or meningitis.
