Listeria usually causes mild flu-like symptoms but occasionally it can lead to more serious conditions such as meningitis and/or septicaemia (blood poisoning).
Young children, the elderly, people with a weakened immune system, and pregnant women are most at risk.
If you have eaten these products recently, you do not need to do anything unless you get symptoms of the infection. Symptoms can include a high temperature of 38C or above, aches and pains, chills, feeling sick or vomiting, diarrhoea.
