Listeria is a harmful bacteria that thrives in ready-to-eat foods that can cause serious food poisoning. The ministry has urged consumers to return or discard the items on the list as they may pose "serious health hazards, especially to the elderly, pregnant women and people suffering from immune deficiency".
Majd Al Herbawi, food safety director at the MoCCAE, said: "The decision underscores the ministry's commitment to ensuring food safety and protecting consumers from adulterated and misbranded foods in coordination with relevant authorities in the UAE. Based on an alert we received from Europe containing a list of the company's products that have been exported to the UAE, we have issued a notification to the local food control authorities to investigate the products on the list and ensure that UAE markets are free of the contaminated food items."
Al Herbawi indicated that the MoCCAE, along with the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority and municipal authorities in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah, are closely following the updates on the situation.
