A total of 26 kilogrammes of rockmelons from New South Wales in Australia imported to Macau on Monday have all been recalled as they are suspected of being contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a statement from the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) said yesterday.
The statement said that once they were notified that a batch of rockmelons might have been contaminated, its Food Safety Centre immediately contacted local fruit importers and suppliers to track the batch, which was the latest one imported on Monday weighing a total 26 kilogrammes. All have been recalled.
The statement said that there had been no reports of anyone falling ill after consuming rockmelons in the past two months.
