According to antara.com, the Head of the Food Security Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Agung Hendriadi, revealed that no outbreak of enoki mushroom-related Listeria monocytogenes has been found in Indonesia. However, the withdrawal is still being carried out as a precautionary measure.
"Destruction was carried out on May 22, 2020, and June 19, 2020, at PT Siklus Mutiara Nusantara, Bekasi, attended by representatives from the business actors and the Food Security Agency, with a total of 1,633 cartons weighing 8,165 kg," explained Agung Hendriadi.
In addition to withdrawing and destroying enoki mushrooms from the market, Agung Hendriadi also explained that the government is currently conducting an investigation. This investigation is being carried out by testing samples of enoki mushroom products from South Korea.
The withdrawal and destruction of enoki mushrooms from South Korea are carried out due to suspicions that the mushrooms have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
It is known that this bacteria has been the cause of Listeria outbreaks in several countries since March-April 2020. These suspicions are based on information from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) through the International Food Safety Authority Network (INFOSAN).
Listeria is a type of bacteria that can survive at low temperatures, such as in the refrigerator. However, refrigerators are commonly used to store enoki mushrooms to prolong their shelf life. With the possibility of enoki mushrooms carrying Listeria bacteria, it is advisable to immediately remove the mushrooms from the refrigerator and clean the storage area.
According to cdc.gov, here are the steps to clean furniture from Listeria contamination:
1) Wash the container previously used to store enoki mushrooms with hot water and soap.
2) Rinse with a mixture of water and bleach, with a ratio of one tablespoon of bleach to approximately 3.5 liters of water.
3) In addition to cleaning the storage area, it is also recommended to clean various cooking utensils that were previously used to cook enoki mushrooms using the same method.
