Listeria monocytogenes Alert

Listeria monocytogenes can be found in certain food products and poses a risk to health. Symptoms are often flu-like, including a high temperature, muscle aches, chills, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. In rare but serious cases, the infection can lead to severe complications such as meningitis.

At Vital Signs Scotland, our Food Safety courses emphasise the crucial role of proper hygiene and handling practices in preventing microbial contamination, including Listeria monocytogenes.
