RECALL: Warning For Pregnant Women Amid Listeria Concern

Several ready-to-eat salad and pasta products have been recalled due to potential Listeria contamination, prompting a warning for pregnant women and the elderly.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand says Raw National Wholefoods is recalling the following products, which have been available at Coles and independent food retailers including IGA in SA:

CRUDO CHICKEN CAESAR 200g
CRUDO VIETNAMESE BOWL 275g
CRUDO JAMAICAN JERK 250g
CRUDO ORIENTAL CHICKEN 275g
Bocadilla CLASSIC CHICKEN PASTA 275g

Date markings: Use By 31AUG22; 01SEP22; 02SEP22; 03SEP22

Salad recall

The recall is due to potential microbial (Listeria monocytogenes) contamination. Listeria may cause illness in pregnant women and their unborn babies, the elderly and people with low immune systems.

Anyone who has purchased any of the products is being told not to eat it, and instead return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Anyone concerned about their health should seek medial advice.

Very scary as often people would buy a meal like this and consume it as soon as they leave the store or within 24 hours. What if you miss the recall notice?

It is concerning with the amount of recalls over the last year or so. Either there are more than usual, or I am just taking more notice.

Safer and so much cheaper to make your own salad plus there is no excess packaging which is great for the planet.

Cheaper and healthier to make your own. Avoid excessive cost and health issues and make your own

Pretty sure pregnant women should be avoiding pre-prepared salads anyway! Hopefully nobody gets hurt from this recall 🙁

Pregnant women shouldn’t be eating pre-packaged salads, I always knew that and was told that.

Thanks for alerting us all to this recall. I refuse to eat ready prepared food after having had food poisoning last year so I wouldn’t had had these anyway. It is more than just the elderly or pregnant who have to be careful. Listeria has been known to kill seemingly healthy people.

Thats not good. Glad to see the recall, hope no-one gets ill from listeria in their salads, and that the news of the recall saves them from this.
