Following an Rapid Risk Assessment the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) have published a news story advising pregnant women and those with a weakened immune system to thoroughly cook Enoki mushrooms before consuming them due to possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes and the risk of severe disease.
In addition to the consumer advice, they’ve also issued a smarter communications letter to Local Authorities and have asked that this letter be shared with members in case you are importing, using, or selling Enoki mushrooms.
This letter can be found here.
If you have any questions, you can contact the FSA at preventionteam@food.gov.uk
