The public is being warned by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) not to eat two commercially available types of tainted sausage.
The Agricola Tre Vali sausage products under the trademarks AIA Wudy and Pavo have been recalled by Italian authorities, according to the Authority.
The FDA reported that the sausages contain listeria bacteria in a statement it released.
Persons in possession of any of the brands were further instructed to return them to any FDA office, according to the statement.
“The attention of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has been drawn to the recall of Agricola Tre Vali sausage products, namely, AIA Wudy and Pavo brands, by the Italian authorities due to the presence of Listeria bacteria in these sausages made from poultry meat.”
The FDA launched a market surveillance effort in light of the ongoing recalls in Europe and other nations, and Pavo Frankfurt sausages with November 2022 expiration dates were discovered in Ho in the Volta Region.
Since then, the goods have been kept for secure disposal.
“So far, no AIA Wudy sausages have been found on our market. The FDA directs that anyone in possession of the above-mentioned products should immediately take them to either our Head Office or Regional Offices across the country.”
“The FDA wishes to assure the public that its surveillance teams continue to monitor the markets for any of the above-mentioned products”, the statement further added.
