• The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) received a notification from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed of the European Commission that the above-mentioned products are being recalled due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
• A preliminary investigation found that the above-mentioned importers had imported into Hong Kong the affected batches of the products concerned.
• Listeria monocytogenes can be easily destroyed by cooking but can survive and multiply at refrigerator temperature. Most healthy individuals do not develop symptoms or only have mild symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, headache, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea when infected. However, severe complications such as septicaemia, meningitis or even death may occur in newborns, the elderly and those with a weaker immune system. Although infected pregnant women may just experience mild symptoms generally, the infection of Listeria monocytogenes may cause miscarriage, infant death, preterm birth, or severe infection in newborns.

• Upon learning of the incident, the CFS immediately contacted local importers to follow up.
• The importers concerned have stopped sales and removed from shelves the affected batches of the products and have initiated recalls according to the CFS's instructions.
• The CFS will alert the trade to the incident, and will continue to follow up and take appropriate action. The investigation is ongoing.

• Stop using or selling the affected batch of the product immediately if in possession.

• Not to consume the affected batch of the product, and seek medical treatment if feeling unwell after consuming the products concerned.
