The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
Wholesalers / distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to retailer customers.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
