Product recall because of possible Listeria contamination

Alphamega Hypermarkets have announced the recall of products that may be contaminated with Listeria bacteria as a precautionary measure. Consumers who have purchased any of the products are urged to return them to any of its stores where they will receive a credit note.

In an announcement, Alphamega said it had been notified by Tesco UK for the recall of the below products:

-Τesco Sweetcorn 1 kg (barcode: 5051898302276)
-Tesco Farmhouse mixed vegetables 1 kg (barcode: 5053526376550)

-Tesco Mixed vegetables 1 kg (barcode: 5051898302887)

-Tesco Micro Veg 640 g (barcode: 5052109885397)

All the above products are being recalled as a precautionary measure for the health and safety of customers. All expiry dates are being recalled, it said

“As we have been informed, there is a high likelihood these products may have been contaminated with the Listeria bacteria. Symptoms caused by Listeriosis are similar to those of gastrointestinal diseases or flu. For vulnerable population groups such as young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weak immune system, the complications may be more serious,” it said.

“If you have purchased any of the above products, please do not consume, and return it to any of our stores as soon as possible to issue a credit note for your purchase,” it added.

I don't take a daily paper, and I'm not alone. It should have made the news on radio and TV, obviously not as important and Wimbledon and Football

It's deeply worrying that this lysteria contamination affects all of Europe, and not just UK (along with certain Tesco frozen veg items sent to Lidl in Cyprus).

The culprit has been pinpointed as a large frozen food factory in Hungary. Authorities have been aware of possible lysteria contamination at this plant since 2016. Yet it was only shut down on 29 June this year!
