What you should do
- Do not eat the recalled product, throw it out or return it to the store where it was purchased for a refund.
- Clean your refrigerator, as listeria can survive in it.
- Seek medical treatment and tell your doctor about possible listeria exposure if you have eaten the recalled product and developed symptoms of listeria infection.
- If you have eaten the recalled product, monitor yourself for symptoms over the next eight weeks, which is how long it can take for symptoms to develop.
Listeria can be serious with symptoms of infection including: vomiting, nausea, loss of balance, convulsions, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.
Pregnant women, the elderly, young children and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-threatening infections and other complications.
Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth even if your illness is mild. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns.
