Pregnant women and millions of Brits with conditions like diabetes are told NOT to eat any smoked salmon over listeria fears

Pregnant women and millions of Brits with conditions like diabetes are told NOT to eat any smoked salmon over listeria fears Pregnant women were today reminded that they shouldn't eat ready-to-eat cold-smoked or cured salmon because of the listeria risk.

Food safety chiefs also issued the same warning to millions of Brits with diabetes, cancer and liver disease.

Smoked salmon and trout are more likely to harbour the bug, which can be life-threating to at-risk people, as the foods are not fully-cooked during production. The Daily Mail
