On April 12, 2025, a recall was initiated following the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in a specific product: the Black Forest ham sandwich. This incident falls under the category of bio-contaminants, which are harmful microorganisms that can pose serious health risks if ingested.
The presence of Listeria Monocytogenes in food products is a significant concern, as this bacterium is known to cause listeriosis, a serious infection primarily affecting pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The recall was prompted to ensure consumer safety and to mitigate any potential health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated products.
The detection of the bacterium was reported through monitoring efforts and has led to an urgent response to remove the affected sandwiches from shelves. Consumers are advised to check their purchases and follow any guidance provided by health authorities regarding this recall.
