A Listeria alert was announced recently with a recall of some frozen vegetables sold through IGA, ALDI and Woolworths. In particular, the country of origin of the products was Belgium and Hungary. As Listeriosis symptoms may vary from 3-70 days, it is recommended that products listed are returned for a refund or discarded. Please alert all pregnant women as the Listeria bacteria can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth or infection in the newborn.
