The presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a number of hygiene and traceability contraventions which makes these products unsafe to eat.
The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the above products.
Symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.
Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.
Actions being taken by enforcement authorities:
As these products have not been prepared in accordance with food hygiene, safety and other legislative requirements, they do not comply with the requirements of assimilated EU Regulations. Local Authorities have been requested to remove unsafe products from the market. Any concerns regarding unsafe foods, should be reported to the local authority where it was purchased.
More than 80 comments have been submitted on plans to update Listeria monocytogenes rules concerning ready-to-eat (RTE) food in Europe.
Many submissions were against the proposals and raised concerns about how they would work in practice as well as issues around challenge testing and the fact that a zero tolerance approach puts companies off testing and results in problems not being discovered.
The majority of respondents were either companies or business associations. More than a quarter came from the UK while 13 were from France and 12 from Spain.
The following products are recalled in Luxembourg:

| Brand | Hofkäserei Belrieth |
| Unit | 800.0g |

Danger : Possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes can cause fever, headache and gastroenteritis. Vulnerable people such as the immunocompromised and elderly and young children may experience neurological symptoms due to meningitis. Pregnant women should also be particularly attentive to these symptoms.
Gastroenteritis can appear between a few hours and 3 days after consumption, while neurological symptoms can only appear after 3 months. People who have consumed these products and present these symptoms are invited to consult a doctor and report this consumption.
The product can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.
The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department today (May 10) urged the public not to consume a batch of prepackaged chilled duck wings due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogen. The trade should stop using or selling the affected batch of the product immediately if they possess it.
Product details are as follows:
Product name: Pepper Vine Duck Wings
Brand: JUEWEI
Place of origin: China
Distributor: Juewei Food (Hong Kong) Limited
Net weight: 170 grams
Use-by date: May 9, 2024
“The CFS collected the above-mentioned sample from a retail outlet in Mong Kok for testing under its routine Food Surveillance Programme. The test result showed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in 25 grams of the sample, exceeding the standard of the Microbiological Guidelines for Food which states that Listeria monocytogenes should not be detected in 25g of food,” a spokesman for the CFS said.
The spokesman said that the CFS has informed the vendor concerned of the irregularity and has instructed it to stop sale and to remove from shelves the affected batch of the product. The distributor concerned has initiated a recall of the affected batch of the product according to the CFS’ instruction. Members of the public may call the distributor’s hotline at 3468 6021 during office hours for enquiries about the product recall.
“Listeria monocytogenes can be easily destroyed by cooking but can survive and multiply at refrigerator temperature. Most healthy individuals do not develop symptoms or only have mild symptoms like fever, muscle pain, headache, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea when infected. However, severe complications such as septicaemia, meningitis or even death may occur in newborns, the elderly and those with a weaker immune system. Although infected pregnant women may just experience mild symptoms generally, the infection of Listeria monocytogenes may cause miscarriage, infant death, preterm birth, or severe infection in newborns,” the spokesman said.
“In order to reduce the risk of listeriosis, susceptible populations such as pregnant women should consume freshly prepared hot food where possible, reheat chilled food until it is hot all the way through, and avoid high-risk foods, including ready-to-eat food such as cold cuts, cold smoked seafood, soft cheeses, salads, etc, or cook them thoroughly before consumption, even if they are presented as part of a dish.”
The CFS will alert the trade to the incident, and will continue to follow up and take appropriate action. An investigation is ongoing.
