HC Deb 08 December 1988 vol 143 c339W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action Her Majesty's Government have taken on the World Health Organisation recommendation in February that cooked food in sealed packages found to contain listeria monocytogenes should be withdrawn.

Mrs. Currie

No action is necessary. Well established procedures already exist to effect the withdrawal of such foods.
