In every state but Tasmania, IGA and Foodland stores carry the five recalled Harris Smokehouse products.
So, members, if you've recently shopped in these stores, we recommend that you double-check your purchases and avoid consuming contaminated products!
If you have already eaten at least one of the products, we strongly recommend that you keep track of your symptoms and make an appointment with your GP as soon as possible.
Health officials warn that infections could be especially dangerous for pregnant women, the elderly, and people who don't have strong immune systems.
There is a window of time of up to six weeks after exposure to the listeria bacteria in which symptoms can manifest. Normal symptoms of listeriosis include a low-grade fever, chills, vomiting, stiff neck, and confusion.
Any food that has been handled or prepared improperly has the potential to spread listeriosis.
Because of this, it's always a good idea to be cautious about what you eat and drink, as well as how you prepare and store food, especially if you already have a weakened immune system.
In one of our previous articles, we talked about some of the mistakes that home cooks often make that make their food unsafe to eat.
Dr Matthew Gilmour, a microbiologist at the Quadram Institute, claims that leaving cooked food out for extended periods of time is one of the most common mistakes.
According to him, if you leave food out for more than two hours, the bacteria in the dish can grow to dangerous levels, so be aware of that, folks!
