Frozen Veg Food Safety Risk

Earlier this month Food Standards ANZ issued a recall for frozen vegetables which could be a food safety risk.

The frozen veg products could possibly be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Vulnerable people are at a greater food safety risk.  This includes pregnant women, people whose immune systems are compromised (e.g. cancer patients) and elderly people.

Consumers who have the product in their freezer should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of it. Consumers who have eaten the product and feel unwell should see a health professional.
