Hairmyres Hospital was supplied with sandwiches and salads linked to a fatal listeria outbreak.
Five people have died in an outbreak in England which is related to pre-packed food supplied to 43 NHS trusts by the Good Food Chain.
NHS Lanarkshire has confirmed the East Kilbride hospital was one of the sites involved – the only one in Scotland.
But the board said products were removed immediately and no cases of listeriosis had been reported in Scotland.
University Hospital Hairmyres was previously supplied with potentially-infected sandwiches and salads from the company.
Dr John Logan, NHS Lanarkshire’s consultant in public health medicine said: “NHS Lanarkshire has been working closely with Health Protection Scotland and Food Standards Scotland. As soon as we were alerted to the situation in England, we immediately took steps to prevent people from consuming potentially-affected sandwiches, withdrawing products supplied by the Good Food Chain company.”
He added: “We also informed hospital clinicians and GPs of the situation, highlighting appropriate investigations to undertake if anyone were to develop possible symptoms or signs of listeriosis infection.
“No cases of listeriosis linked to this outbreak have been identified in Scotland and the chance of listeriosis occurring in Lanarkshire residents is low.”
Those at risk of developing the infection were anyone who ate sandwiches and salads at Hairmyres from the Good Food Chain company during April, May or the first five days of June.
Symptoms include sickness and diarrhoea.
