Dangerous Meatballs

For the second time in a little while, products from the Swedish food manufacturer Värmlandschark has been withdrawn from stores. These products are manufactured between the 7th and the 10th of June. One of the products is meatballs. The manufacturer has found unhealthy amounts of listeria bacteria in the products. It is bad that bacteria are in the meatballs, but good that the manufacturer reacts to it.

In the Swedish news, it is reported that these bacteria may be dangerous for humans with a weak immune system, elderly, and pregnant women. I lack information of whether the bacteria are dangerous to dogs as well. This is not good journalism. As a precaution, I would recommend everyone not to feed the meatballs to their dogs either.
