The National Food Authority announced this Wednesday that the presence of “Listeria monocytogenes STI55” was found in “Wudy” food products, constituting a serious risk to human health.

The food safety expert, Kapllan Sulaj, said on the ‘Today’ show in Euronews Albania that the pediatric age groups that are most at risk from consuming this product, as they have an unconsolidated immune system and the other two groups are the elderly over 65 and pregnant women.

He also emphasized that the bacteria found in the infected sausages resist high and low temperatures, so the consumption of those included in the lots, according to the AKU announcement, is problematic for the consumer, regardless of cooking.

The expert suggested that anyone who has consumed the products should consult a doctor.
