HC Deb 20 February 1989 vol 147 c532W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what evidence he has of listeria being passed to poultry via contaminated feedstuffs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Donald Thompson

Clinical listeriosis in poultry is extremely rare. I know of no evidence indicating that listeriosis has been passed to poultry from contaminated feedingstuffs.
