Food recalls: Listeria
Every food recall from the Food Standards Agency where the reason was listeria. Microbiological problems mean bacteria, viruses, toxins or mould that can cause illness.
The NHS says listeriosis (listeria infection) is more likely to be serious for anyone who is pregnant, newborn babies, older people and people with a weakened immune system.
For symptoms and when to get help, see the NHS guidance. If you feel unwell after eating a recalled product, contact NHS 111 or your GP.
