About a month was ordered withdrawal from the market and destruction of more than 29,000 kg of cheese produced in the cheese Producers Cooperative of Beira Baixa, in Idanha-a-Nova, after being detected the presence of bacteria identified as listeria, which can lead to diseases such as meningitis, realizes the News Journal on Wednesday.
The detection was made by Power and direction Veterinary (SAGD) a harvest that occurred December 16, 2015 and the results were known on 30 December and the withdrawal of those lots was ordered almost immediately. The respective order of destruction was known on Monday. However, the question that arises now is whether, after this period, someone purchased or consumed these products.
This is because, according to the account JN, cheeses produced in this Cooperative were collected during the month of January unaware If for now a few have been acquired or until consumed. That newspaper reports until he tried to question the SAGD about the lack of notice to the public, but received no response. On the question whether, from the day that the bacterium was identified on 30 December, until the announcement of the destruction of cheese, nearly a month later, someone bought some cheese, the institution also failed to provide any information.
On this, John Fernandes, president of Cheese Cooperative of Beira Baixa, explained to JN that “this could not have happened: there was a technical failure, were not made analysis for a certain period of time”, revealing yet if it is to carry out a “complete and thorough cleaning” in order to restart production with the confirmation of quality and safety for the products offered for sale.
