Symptoms
Listeria can provoke symptoms ranging from headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
In vulnerable people, such as the elderly or immunocompromised individuals, symptoms can be much more severe.
Symptoms can appear up to eight weeks after consumption of a contaminated product.
E-coli can provoke a moderate fever, severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea (often bloody), and vomiting.
Symptoms usually appear within three to eight days after consumption of a contaminated product.
These products should not be consumed and should be returned to the point of purchase.
