Virgin Listeria Company Fined

The listeria outbreak that was reported on an Australian Virgin Blue flight was found to have come from a New South Wales food processing company.

Australian Poultry and Food Wholesalers (GMI Food Wholesalers) was found responsible for diced chicken which sent two pregnant women into premature labour after they ate the ready-to-eat meat products.

The company has been banned from producing any such meat in future.
