Aldi, Lidl, Iceland, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose recalled a variety of frozen veg products last week because they could contain the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis. The recall followed a warning from the UK Food Standards Agency over products distributed by Greenyard Frozen, a Belgium-based supplier.
In addition to the list of more than 40 items initially recalled, Lidl’s Green Grocers Carrots, Broccoli & Sweetcorn, Baby Carrots, Peas, Green Beans & Sweetcorn and Green Grocers Golden Vegetable Rice have been added to the list.
The FSA warned that the product could be contaminated, and advised anyone who has purchased the item to return it to the store where it was bought for a full refund.
According to the FSA, the symptoms caused by Listeria monocytogenes “can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea”.
