Food Safety Alert: Listeria Monocytogenes Detected in Pollock Fish and Chips
On August 11, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in a popular food product: Pollock fish and chips. This bio-contaminant poses serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
The source of this contamination has been traced back to France, raising concerns about the safety of seafood products in the region. Listeria is known for its ability to thrive in cold environments, making it a persistent threat in refrigerated food items. Symptoms of listeriosis can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal distress, which can escalate to more severe complications if left untreated.
Consumers are advised to exercise caution and check for any recalls or advisories related to Pollock fish and chips. It is crucial to ensure that all seafood is cooked thoroughly and handled with proper hygiene practices to minimize the risk of contamination.
This incident has been reported through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), highlighting the importance of monitoring food safety and ensuring that products meet health standards. Stay informed and prioritize food safety to protect yourself and your loved ones.
