Two more patients die after eating food linked to listeria outbreak

Evidence suggests all five of the deceased ate affected products before withdrawal, says PHE

Two more patients have died after eating pre-packaged sandwiches and salads linked to a listeria outbreak, taking the total number of deaths to five, Public Health England has said.

The source of the infection is understood to relate to products supplied by the Good Food Chain and the affected sandwiches and salads have since been withdrawn from hospitals.
