🚨 Health Alert 🚨
The Ministry of Public Health of Qatar has confirmed that the UAE-origin beef pepperoni product linked to Listeria monocytogenes contamination is NOT available in the local market.
But you might have eaten it in other Gulf country .
Why it matters:
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious health issues, especially for pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms include:
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Nausea or diarrhea
- Severe cases can lead to meningitis or blood infections.
Stay informed and prioritize food safety! 🛡️
________________________________________________
For the average healthy person, Listeria monocytogenes infection may cause mild, flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal distress, such as:
- Fever
- Chills
- Muscle aches
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
These symptoms typically resolve on their own in healthy individuals, but anyone experiencing severe or persistent symptoms should consult a doctor immediately.
Reminder: Vulnerable groups (pregnant women, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals) are at higher risk of severe illness, so food safety is essential for everyone! 🛡️
