An outbreak traced to the vegetables from Greenyard Frozen has sickened 47 people in five European countries. Company officials said that includes costs for the product, transportation, handling, storage, destruction, subcontracting, lower cost absorption of the factory, and loss of margin. The company is insured for recall costs and possible product liability damages. Some have received and reprocessed original products into other products under different brands. Eighteen cases have been reported this year, with the most recent person becoming sick in May. The outbreak is believed to have begun in 2015. It can take up to 70 days after exposure to the bacteria for symptoms of infection to develop. In recent days Australian authorities said they had identified a fatal Listeria infection in their country linked to the outbreak in Europe. However, because the person died, public health officials cannot confirm whether the victim ate the implicated frozen vegetables before becoming ill. It was also isolated in a sample from a floor drain at the packaging area confirming the environmental contamination of the Hungarian processing plant. Some of the other countries frozen veg recall recalled products were sent to are: Afghanistan, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Chad, Egypt, France, Georgia,Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Mauritius, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. The recall does not imply products are contaminated, according to officials. Greenyard advised consumers to cook frozen products until they reach 70 degrees C and to continue to cook them at that temperature for at least two minutes.
