Italy has implemented several food recalls and is monitoring livestock health concerns. Initial recalls targeted Norwegian smoked salmon due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination and various egg products from Fiorin di Lionello & C SS due to Salmonella risks.

Subsequent health alerts included a recall for Avicola Alberti Tamara ‘Speciali Pasta Gialla’ six-egg packs following a finding of chemical non-compliance. Additionally, authorities are monitoring the Shamonda virus, which has been detected in cattle and buffalo farms in the Salerno province. The Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Mezzogiorno (IZSM) noted the virus is transmitted via Culicoides biting midges, though officials stated there is no risk to human health through the consumption of meat or milk.
