Food Safety Alert: Listeria Monocytogenes Detected in Chopped Thin Slices Can
On November 17, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in chopped thin slices canned products. This bio-contaminant poses serious health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
The source of this contamination has been traced back to products originating from Spain, as confirmed by the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition. Listeria Monocytogenes can survive and even thrive in refrigerated environments, making it a persistent threat in food safety. Symptoms of listeriosis may include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal distress, and in severe cases, it can lead to more serious complications.
Consumers are advised to check their pantries for any chopped thin slices canned products and to discard any items that may be affected. It is crucial to maintain proper food handling and storage practices to minimize the risk of contamination. Regularly cleaning surfaces and utensils that come into contact with food can also help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
Stay informed and prioritize food safety to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential health hazards associated with contaminated food products.
