The firm is recalling all products that used the confirmed positive potatoes.

Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers.

Italy: Salmonella in Sausage Possibly Due to Improper Fermentation

Recall of Salumificio Val d'Ongina of Monticelli Sausage by the Local Health Service of Piacenza. All lots on the market may be contaminated with salmonella, and the manufacturer has withdrawn the sausage from all stores shelves.The supermarkets should have displayed a sign to warn customers of the recall. .

The lot number ist H05-28  The analysis conducted by the AUSL have verified the presence of salmonella in batches packaged in May, June and July.So earlier batches should not be consume.

In the past sausage has been a major cause of salmonellosis.In the cafeterias of schools of Piacenza in 2010 there were 30 cases of salmonellosis caused by salami. In the Easter of 2004 in the Lazio a type of sausage called "The Reef" caused 63 cases of salmonellosis

The recall was triggered by the increase of reported salmonellosis cases in the province of Piacenza (100 in 2012 and 154 in the first nine months of 2013). This year, in 61 cases it was possible to ascertain how the same cause salmonella highlighted in testing done on corpses Val d'Ongina. Tests have identified with certainty the cause of the infection in salami Salumificio Val d'Ongina.  The reasons for this contamination is probably linked to a problem during fermentation.

The pork is often contaminated with salmonella, and in spite of the controls is to be expected that some batch arrivals in the sausage. If theSausaget is cooked to the proper temperature it will kill the salmonella.Other times they are the spices added to the sausage that may be contaminated. To eliminate the salmonella lactic acid bacteria are used in the dough that develop during fermentation and aging. That make life impossible for salmonella. At the end of fermentation acidity levels and humidity the salmonella are damaged so they are unable to reproduce or they die.

However, if the fermentation is not well controlled, or is too short, Salmonella can survive and sicken people. To avoid problems often have to do checks on the farm and carefully assess the production process. Of course the incident is rare but if the production process is not able to kill the salmonella, sooner or later the people will get sick..

Pork Sausage Can Carry the Hepatitis E Virus

There is increasing evidence that Hepatitis E  is a food borne illness. In one study, one in ten sausages were infected with a potentially deadly virus Hepatitis E  Scientists have warned about the acute risk of hepatitis E from the French delicacy figatellu – a smoked pigs liver sausage – which is often eaten raw.  The infection was once considered very rare but cases have risen by nearly 40 per cent in a year.

The virus usually causes only relatively mild symptoms such as sickness, a temperature and muscle pain, It will clear up within a month. But it can be fatal for the elderly, cancer victims, pregnant women and  others with existing liver problems. Around one in 50 of those infected will die, but in pregnant women one  out of five will die. There is also a risk that the virus will be passed to the baby. Men over 50 are more susceptible  to the virus as they tend to drink more and have weaker livers.,

Sausages are regarded as particularly dangerous as they often contain liver meat and traces of pig’s blood as well as a casing from the animal’s intestine.Sausages have to be cooked 158F for at least 20 minutes to kill the virus but most people do not cook them that long. Tests have showed that the virus can survive at 140F after an hour.

It is common in the developing world, where it is usually transmitted through contaminated water. It ‘is increasingly being recognised’ as a major disease.Hepatitis E causes around 20 million infections a year worldwide, which result in around 57,000 deaths. It was first found in 1955 in New Delhi, India, following contamination of water. It is endemic in much of the Far East and Africa, where sanitation is poor.

China developed The world’s first vaccine but is not available worldwide.
