As happens almost daily, the Ministry of Health has posted the note on its official website indicating the products withdrawn from the market due to certain risks for consumers. After what happened with the sausages, now the sandwiches end up under the magnifying glass for cases of listeriosis. The food alert relates specifically to those with salmon and mayonnaise, marketed by Penny supermarkets under the Allegri Sapori brand.

Specifically, the batches of products withdrawn from supermarket shelves are n. 22952 1 and n. 22952 2. The reason for this report, as read on the official notice of the site, is the presence of “Listeria monocytogenes”. Immediate recommendation from the government body to all consumers, to avoid consumption and instead return it as soon as possible. Replacement or refund can be made before 10/10/2022 (following Monday).
