One dead and 150 confirmed cases as health ministry investigates over 500 more suspected infections.
An international alert has been issued by the Spanish government amid the country’s biggest ever outbreak of Listeria which has affected 150 people and killed a 90-year-old woman.
The health ministry has said it is checking a further 523 suspected cases.
Most of the confirmed cases are in the south of the country in Andalusia, the region where a packaged pork plant believed to be connected with the outbreak is located.
But there have also been cases as far north as Catalonia, where around 50 people have been hospitalised.
