This food warning appeared after a notification sent Healthcare authorities Murcia community through Coordinated system of quick information exchange (Sciri).
It is known that these anchovies were distributed in Mursia and Valencian communityNevertheless, the field cannot be ruled out that it also reached other communities. Thus, sales have already been made to check if they have whether they have this product for sale or at home, respectively.
If so, it should be discarded or returned to the distributor who will know how to act. Details about the warning about food. What exact data should be checked on the marking. Please note if you have canning at your disposal.

Why Listeria monocytogenes?
Listeria monocytogenes This is a bacterium that causes ListeriosisFood transmission disease, the gravity of which can be very variable. Most people take it without symptoms or only with some Soft gastrointestinal symptomsHowever, in risk groups, this can become very serious or even mortalThese groups belong to people with a weak immune system, elderly, pregnant women and children. Complications of these people can lead to Meningitis, sepsis, spontaneous abortion, fetal death or premature birthAmong other conditions. In addition, in these severe cases, mortality can achieve 30%.
It is sometimes difficult to detect food that caused an infection Listeria Monocytogenes, Since this is required for incubation From 1 to 2 weeksBut sometimes it can reach 3 months. In this case, the patient no longer remembers what he took. If it was an isolated case, it is almost impossible to find The origin of leaferiosisThe field on the other hand, if a flash suddenly occurs, as happened many years ago in Andalusia with consumers of a wick meat party, it is easier to detect this general factor among all patients.
Be that as it may, always Better to prevent than treatThe field is why the quality and security management are so important, for example, the one that gave rise to this warning about food. The problem is notified as soon as possible, and in general the product is removed before someone comes to consume it.
What should I do if I have these bells at home?
The question that we all ask ourselves when we see that the warning about food, how is it, is the same: what should I do if I have a product at home?
We have already seen that healthcare authorities recommend Do not consume the product And return it, if possible, to the place where it was purchased. But what if we have already absorbed it?
In this case, Aesan recommends Pay attention to possible symptoms Listeriosis. If they appear Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or feverWe should go to the doctor. In the case of the risk of patients, such as pregnant women, even more attention should be paid to symptoms or even, if necessary, refer to primary medical care on how to continue.
In any case, not a panic. The notification of food was fast, and perhaps at the moment all the cans of the canopy of this party have already been removed. Check your pantry just in case, but without fear.
