Listeria infection can cause serious complications
Listeria monocytogenes is a species of bacteria that can cause an infection known as listeriosis.
This can present as mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe and cause serious complications.
Certain members of the population are more vulnerable to infection such as pregnant women, babies, the elderly and others with weakened immune systems.
Manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, caterers and retailers have all been advised to recall the products and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
