Listeria Recall: Chicken, Bacon & Sweetcorn Deli Filler from Dunnes Stores
Chicken, Bacon & Sweetcorn Deli Filler
Dunnes Stores is recalling their Chicken, Bacon & Sweetcorn Deli Filler due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria can cause listeriosis, a serious illness that can lead to death for vulnerable people,
Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes is a hardy bacterium that is widespread in the environment and can contaminate a wide range of foods. Because it is so very hardy, it can not just survive in lower temperatures, but also still grow and multiply. Most bacteria will survive in the fridge, for instance, but are simply dormant at those lower temperatures. Listeria, however, can still multiply at temperatures as low as 0°C.
This is one of the reasons is it most commonly associated with pre-cooked foods, chilled ready-to-eat foods such as cooked sliced meats, smoked fish, cooked shellfish, soft mould-ripened cheeses, pate and pre-prepared sandwiches that do not require further cooking or reheating.
