In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.

The FSAI confirmed that recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale. The below batches of the product are being recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.

Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
