The Ministry of Health has launched a food alert. The notice concerns a batch of Marche salami a Salumificio Rossi brand. The recall is due to the presence of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.

It is a salami of about half a kilo that is sold loose or vacuum-packed. The lot in question was produced on 6 September 2021 with expiry on 12 November 2021. The recalled Marche salami was produced by Salumificio Rossi Srl in the factory in via dei Pini 35 / A, in Moresco, in the province of Fermo (the brand of IT CE identification U316Q).

Il Minstero invites those who have purchased it not to consume the product and to return it to the point of sale.

The batterio listeria monocytogenes can cause the onset of listeria. A disease that can be contracted mainly through the consumption of contaminated food, raw or cooked. The symptoms are: fever, body aches, encephalitis and in severe cases it can degenerate into meningitis and sepsis (general infection). Listeria can therefore lead to death (mortality is estimated to be around 20-30%).
