| Summary | |
|---|---|
| Category 1: | For Action |
| Alert Notification: | 2021.48 |
| Product: | Sheridan’s Cheesemongers Ltd 15 Fields Whole Wheel |
| Batch Code: | 1137 and 1138 |
| Country Of Origin: | Ireland |
Sheridan’s Cheesemongers Ltd. is recalling the above batches of its 15 Fields Whole Wheels due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes. The implicated batches may have been sold via cheese counters and delis. Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batches.
Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and to display a point-of-sale recall notice in stores where the affected batches were sold.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
Almost 50 people are sick in France with Salmonella infections after eating a type of dry cured sausage from Spain.
In total, 45 people have been affected including 27 children. All sick people interviewed so far mentioned eating fuet before onset of symptoms.
Strains of monophasic Salmonella typhimurium sharing the same genetic characteristics were identified between June 24 and July 15 by the National Reference Center for Salmonella. This means they are likely to be from the same source.
The link with consumption of fuet produced by the Spanish company Embutidos Caula SL was made by the General Directorate of Food (DGAL), General Directorate of Health and Santé Publique France.
All batches and dates of fuet sold under different brand names that are marked ES 10.01865/GE CE have been withdrawn from sale or recalled.

Public Health England is reminding the public of simple actions that they can take to reduce the spread of norovirus.
The advice comes after routine surveillance shows that the number of outbreaks caused by the vomiting bug has increased in recent weeks (5-week period from end May to July), particularly in early year educational settings, and that cases are returning to pre-pandemic levels across all age groups and settings in England.
Norovirus is highly infectious and causes vomiting and diarrhoea but usually passes in a couple of days. It is easily transmitted through contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces. The increase in outbreaks has been mostly in educational settings, particularly in nursery and childcare facilities, with far more incidents reported to PHE than would be expected in the summer months. In the last 5 weeks, 154 outbreaks have been reported, compared to an average of 53 outbreaks reported over the same time period in the previous 5 years.
The overall number of laboratory confirmed norovirus reports across all age groups has also recently increased to the levels seen in previous years before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Professor Saheer Gharbia, Deputy Director, National Infection Service, PHE, said:
Norovirus, commonly known as the winter vomiting bug, has been at lower levels than normal throughout the pandemic with less opportunity to spread between people in the community but as restrictions have eased we have seen an increase in cases across all age groups.
Symptoms include sudden onset of nausea, projectile vomiting and diarrhoea but can also include a high temperature, abdominal pain and aching limbs. Stay at home if you are experiencing norovirus symptoms and do not return to work or send children to school or nursery until 48 hours after symptoms have cleared. As with COVID-19, handwashing is really important to help stop the spread of this bug, but remember, unlike for COVID-19 alcohol gels do not kill off norovirus so soap and water is best.
How to reduce the spread of norovirus:
Norovirus activity is now increasing and it is possible that unusual or out of season increases could be seen in the coming months. following further easing of COVID-19 control measures. PHE’s National Norovirus Surveillance Team will continue to closely monitor all available surveillance data to ensure early detection of any unusual norovirus activity and outbreaks.
Those showing symptoms should avoid visiting their GP but if they are concerned should contact NHS 111 or talk to their GP by phone.

Detection of Clostridium botulinum
all best before
Toxins in food that are produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria can cause severe poisoning (food botulism), which can be life-threatening. Already a few hours after consumption, paralysis can begin, which manifests itself as blurred vision, double vision, photophobia, swallowing disorders and dry mouth. The paralysis can progressively affect the respiratory and heart muscles. Possible early symptoms are headache, diarrhea and vomiting.
People who have consumed the affected food and develop symptoms within 36 hours of consumption should seek medical treatment immediately and suspect food botulism. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.
The product was marketed through two retail outlets in Frankfurt am Main and one retail outlet in Berlin. All customers who had purchased the product online were informed individually by the company by email.
The already existing recall for the best before 01.09.2021 has been extended to all best before. Further information can be found in the attached press release.
