JOHANNESBURG - The origin of the listeriosis outbreak has been traced to polony from the Enterprise Foods factory in Polokwane, Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi revealed today.
He urged South Africans, especially the pregnant, ill and elderly, to steer clear not only of polony, but Russians, Viennas and other processed meat.
A Rainbow chicken processing plant in Germiston has also been implicated
Listeriosis has claimed more than 170 lives since January 2017, with over 900 cases reported.
The implicated products will be recalled.
