Sainsbury's has recalled 13 pre-packed deli fillers after discovering Listeria monocytogenes in some products. The supermarket is pulling the affected items, sold under its own brand and Be Good To Yourself label, from shelves.
Listeria can cause flu-like symptoms including high temperature, muscle aches, chills, vomiting and diarrhoea. In severe cases, it can lead to meningitis, particularly in vulnerable groups such as over-65s, pregnant women, unborn babies, children under one, and those with weakened immune systems.
Customers who have purchased any of the 13 products can return them to the store for a full refund. Sainsbury's has urged shoppers to check their purchases and dispose of or return any affected items.
