Simultaneously, Slovakia and Croatia issued recalls for meat products, specifically ‘Hovädzí tatarák Premium’ and ‘Dalmatinska panceta’, due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. In Poland, the situation regarding Listeria monocytogenes became more specific as the Main Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) issued an urgent recall for regional cheeses produced by Mlecz Ser Górskie Sp. z o. o. Official testing by the Veterinary Inspection confirmed the presence of the bacteria in five out of five samples tested from batch 261.2026/M. The affected products include various ‘Gałka’ and ‘Korbacz’ or ‘Tabliczka’ cheese varieties, such as natural, smoked, garlic, and pepper types.
