The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority forbade, due to Listeria monocytogenes detection, production at Nové lahůdky Sixta (Ostrava-Kunčice) and at Zemědělské obchodní družstvo Ludmírov – cold meals manufacturing (Jesenec) last week. Both companies fulfilled the imposed measures in determined time limit – they carried out a complete sanitisation and subsequent desinfection of manufacturing premises and also submitted negative results of sample analyses on listeria bacteria carried out by acredited laboratories. For these reasons the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority lifted a ban and both companies can relaunch production since 24 July. More information is to be found in the CAFIA press release issued on
18 July 2008.
