Frozen vegetables recalled from Aussie supermarkets over listeria concerns
A range of frozen vegetables brands are being recalled from supermarkets across Australia over fears of potential contamination by the deadly listeria bacteria.
Listeria is a bacterial infection which can cause severe illness and death in some susceptible people. It killed six people in NSW and Victoria earlier this year.
The elderly, pregnant women and their unborn and newborn babies, and people with weakened immune systems, are most at risk.
