A sandwich producer in England have been infected for 3 years with Listeria

Food Safety News reported that a factory of a sandwich producer in England (Tiffin Sandwiches) had been infected with Listeria for about 3 years. In July 2017, Listeria monocytogenes was drawn from the blood of a 53-year-old man at a hospital.  The patient had eaten sandwiches at his hospital at least 12 times. Listeria monocytogenes was detected in the company’s products between December 2016 and August 2017, on the manufacturer’s premises and in an internal sample of two hospitals. Listeria monocytogenes was discovered on-site and in products until July 2019. Tiffin Sandwiches indicated that since the end of that fiscal year, it had ceased supplying the hospitals. All food samples analyzed had grades of Listeria monocytogenes below the legal limit of one hundred colony units per gram. In 2019, six other people died after eating bird sandwiches provided to hospitals through Good Food Chain. @ https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2020/09/listeria-found-for-years-at-site-of-sandwich-producer/#:~:text=The%20factory%20of%20a%20sandwich,with%20an%20underlying%20health%20condition
