Listeria monocytogenes can cause food poisoning, especially in vulnerable groups and expectant mothers.

All three supermarkets have recalled the product and displayed point-of-sale recall notices in stores. These notices alert customers to the recall and advise them of what actions to take if they have bought the product. Copies of these notices can be found below:
