Delaying the official announcement of the source of listeria, which affected eight people in Macedonia over the past month, four of whom died, causes panic among the citizens in Macedonia, Radio Free Europe writes.

According to experts, the lab results could have been announced few days ago, while the lack of information causes harms to the companies that work properly.

According to professor Ilija Karov, it is not right to keep the source of the disease secret.

Radio Free Europe recalls that initially it was announced that the bacteria was found in two types of homemade sausages, while the food safety agency issued an order for monitoring and control on the entire distribution chain.
