World Health Organisation on Wednesday warned Nigeria and 15 other African countries of a listeriosis outbreak that started in South Africa in 2017, confirming its support for their preparedness and response to the disease. The other African countries are Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Listeriosis is a bacterial infection most commonly caused by Listeria monocytogenes. It can cause severe illness, including severe sepsis, meningitis, or encephalitis, sometimes resulting in lifelong harm and even death. Listeria is ubiquitous and is primarily transmitted via the oral route after ingestion of contaminated food products

According to WHO numbers, nearly 200 South Africans have died since January 2017 as a result of contaminated ready-to-eat meat products that are widely consumed in the country and may also have been exported to two West African countries and 14 members of the South African Development Community. South African health authorities recently declared the source of the outbreak as a factory in Polokwane, in the country’s northeast prompting a global recall of the food products.

I don't trust this WHO, they may be the one to cause this outbreak through their experiments and also the one to sound the need for prevention and cure

Nigerians can import anything, see as they are using their money to import disease that later will start causing havoc like lassa fever.

Basic way of prevention. Stop eating processed meat e.g corn beef, sausage. Even if u must consume cook thoroughly. The bacteria survives through aerobic n anaerobic conditions and it’s known to still grow in cold conditions.


May God in his infinite mercy keep protecting us.

i

its not shawarma. its from processed meat products like ham, polony, hotdogs, burger patties, etc. We rarely eat them in Nigeria. The people who should be careful the most are people who feed on restaurant food.
You're right, though the major risk are from super stores like shoprite and other stores who import their processed meat from SA.
Restaurants are of little concern here as majority of our restaurants deal on fresh meat.
And hey, who says we rarely eat processed meat in naija? Just pay a visit to a superstore, you would be convinced otherwise. I for one patronise them alot

It's not every sharwama that has sausage roll in them.. It depends on the one you order for, it's always stated on the menu and the prices are different.

What about the products that have to other countries. Any one that got into Nigeria is definitely not going back, I'm sure you know this.

They have been recalled & a warning issued, if you still eat them afterwards, it's your problem.
