Toons Bridge Dairy Ricotta and Buffalo Ricotta Cheeses are being recalled due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness, particularly among vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms include mild flu-like effects or gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection may lead to severe complications.
The incubation period ranges from 3 to 70 days, with an average of around three weeks.
