Recall of bagged salads due to bacterial risk, the Bellizzi plant: "Only as a precaution"

Presence of Listeria monocytogenes in some Iceberg lettuce batches packaged at the plant in Bellizzi, in the province of Salerno. This is what emerged from normal routine checks carried out by the competent authorities at a point of sale.

Pending the final conclusions from the authorities, the company reassures that all other products processed at the Bellizzi plant comply with current regulations and can be consumed in complete safety.
