Frozen vege mix recalled

Countdown is recalling a frozen vegetable mix as a precaution amid fears it could contain a particularly dangerous strain of listeria. A Countdown spokeswoman said the supermarket chain had been advised there was a potential risk that its Bell Farms Steam Veggies, Carrot, Corn and Broccoli bags contained the bacteria. Foodstuffs said its Pak’n Save, New World and Four Square supermarkets did not stock the products. Listeria is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and the elderly, and symptoms can take several weeks to appear.
