Fish fillets on call: Lidl warns against consumption - there is a high health risk
When
Listeria
is
bacteria
that when consuming the
infectious disease listeriosis
cause and
severe disease
can cause.
These include, for example,
gastrointestinal diseases
and
symptoms of a flu-like infection
, which can only be triggered after more than three weeks.
In the worst case, Listeria can
cause
life-threatening
blood poisoning
and
meningitis
.
What
is
particularly dangerous about
listeriosis
is that the disease usually initially
goes
unnoticed by the sick
, because the outbreak of the disease can drag on for up to eight weeks after ingesting the bacteria.
Especially with
babies, pregnant women
and the
elderly and sick people there
is a risk of
serious disease progression
.
Expectant mothers often do not notice an infection, but the listeria can lead to premature birth or even death of the fetus.
Fish affected by recall: Lidl customers can do that
Due to the
high health risk
,
Lidl
urges its customers to pay attention to the
recall
and
not to consume
the
fish fillets
under any circumstances.
Affected people can
return
the product in any
Lidl branch
and get the
purchase price reimbursed even without a receipt
.
