Health information from the NHS
Listeriosis usually goes away on its own, but it can make some people seriously ill. About foods that can carry listeria, the NHS says that if you have eaten them recently, you do not need to do anything unless you get symptoms.
In most people it has no symptoms or only mild symptoms for a few days, such as:
- a high temperature
- aches and pains
- chills
- feeling or being sick
- diarrhoea
If you're pregnant, you may also have a stomach ache or notice your baby moving less than usual.
Ask for an urgent GP appointment or get help from NHS 111 if you think you have listeriosis and:
- you're pregnant (you can also call your midwife)
- you have a condition that weakens your immune system, such as cancer or kidney disease
- you're having treatment that weakens your immune system, such as chemotherapy or steroid tablets
- you think your baby might have listeriosis
Call 999 or go to A&E if you or your child:
- have a severe headache and stiff neck
- find it uncomfortable to look at bright lights
- have a fit (seizure)
- feel suddenly confused, or very sleepy and difficult to wake
- have a rash that does not fade when a glass is rolled over it

Why it was recalled
The FSA's risk statement:
The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the products listed above. Symptoms caused by Listeria monocytogenes can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis. Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.
