Overview
- FSANZ issued an urgent recall for Barkly Smokehouse’s 1.9kg Lux Ham after tests found Listeria monocytogenes in whole hams with a May 6 use‑by date.
- The affected batch was sold through independent retailers in New South Wales and Victoria, including IGA stores.
- Consumers are told not to eat the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- People who feel unwell should seek medical advice, with pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immunity at greater risk from listeria.
- Symptoms can start within two weeks of eating contaminated food or take up to two months, and regulators are monitoring for illness reports as media seek comment from Barkly Smokehouse.
