URGENT RECALL: Popular pasta salad pulled out from IGA and independent grocers due to possible bacterial contamination
- Replies 3
Let's face it, everyone loves a good pasta salad. Except maybe the lactose intolerant among us…
It's a staple at summer picnics and parties; regardless of the age group, pasta salads are always a hit.
However, it's disappointing to think that even this classic favourite could be potentially hazardous to our health if not prepared properly.
Fresh Frontier Pty Ltd. recently issued a major recall due to potential bacterial contamination in their Chicken + Bacon Pasta Salad.
This recall was necessary to prevent customers from consuming the contaminated product and leading to outbreaks of the nasty listeriosis virus.
The salad was urgently pulled from the shelves of several supermarkets, including IGA, in Western Australia.
Here’s a list of retailers that sold the affected products:
If left unaddressed, the listeriosis virus can cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches, and an upset stomachs.
Additionally, it can pose a greater risk to the safety of certain groups such as pregnant women, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
The affected products came in three different weights (300g, 550g, and 2.5kg) and were labelled with a Use By Date of February 23.
Food Standards (FSANZ) advised anyone in possession of the products to not consume them.
FSANSZ’s statement read: ‘Listeria monocytogenes contamination has been detected in this product, which can lead to the potentially fever-inducing bacterial exposure.’
'Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice and should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.’
So, members, if you think you might have this product at home, please contact the Fresh Frontier Company (08) 6162 9958 or visit their website for more information about the recall.
This isn’t an issue to be taken lightly, so make sure you’re aware of the signs of listeriosis and take necessary precautions.
If you have consumed this product recently, please see your local GP for a health check-up.
Please, stay safe out there, members! Also, make sure your friends and family are aware of the recall so feel free to share this article with them.
