Salmon and prawn products recalled over listeria risk

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 15:59 · Archive

SuperValu and Centra salmon and prawn products have been recalled after Listeria monocytogenes was found.

Shoppers have been warned not to eat a range of salmon and prawn products sold by SuperValu and Centra after Listeria monocytogenes was found in them. Essex Trading Standards has issued the recall affecting multiple products from both supermarkets. Customers who have purchased any of the affected items have been told not to consume them and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Symptoms caused by Listeria monocytogenes can resemble flu and include a high temperature, muscle aches or pain, chills, sickness and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can become more severe and lead to serious complications such as meningitis.

Certain groups are considered more vulnerable to listeria infections. These include people aged over 65, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old, and people with weakened immune systems. Anyone with concerns about their health following consumption of the affected products should seek medical advice.
