Authorities in the United Kingdom have repeated a warning about Listeria in fish as part of an outbreak involving three deaths.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA), Food Standards Scotland (FSS), and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said vulnerable consumers need to be aware of the risks of Listeria monocytogenes infection from ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked fish.
The number of people affected in the outbreak has gone up by two to 14 since it was announced in April this year. At least three patients live in Scotland and the first illness onset date of all cases was in October 2020.
Ten sick people are older than age 65, and one is a pregnant woman. Three of those affected who were older than 65 died.
