In other news, a batch of Anitca Macelleria Falorni il Salame Con Cinghiale has also been recalled due to the presence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. A notice on the FSAI website reads: "Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) also known as Verocytotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) may cause severe bloody diarrhoea and abdominal cramps, although sometimes the infection causes non-bloody diarrhoea or no symptoms.

"In some groups, particularly children under 5 years of age and the elderly, the infection can also cause a complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), in which the red blood cells are destroyed and the kidneys fail." The affected batches have the approval number IT 1524S CE.

People have been asked not to eat the implicated batch.
