đź“ŤListeriosis Outbreak Prompts Major Meal Recall
A widespread outbreak of listeriosis has led the Food Safety Authority to recall over 200 ready-made meal products. One person has died and nine others are seriously ill due to the bacteria. The source of the outbreak has been traced to Ballymaguire Foods, which supplies meals to Irish supermarkets.
The company has confirmed that listeria was detected at one of its facilities on Saturday and has since issued a formal apology, stating the incident is “extremely rare” and that full sanitation of the site has already been carried out. Authorities are urging the public to check their fridges and freezers and discard any potentially affected products.
