Lidl, Tesco and Morrisons have all urgently recalled foods after safety concerns were raised. Two of the products listed might contain either Salmonella or Listeria, according to bulletins issued by the Food Standards Agency.
Lidl has recalled its Eridanous Greek Style Smoked Mackerel Fillet with Olives and Oregano with Soy Oil. It says Listeria monocytogenes have been found in the product and is warning customers not to eat them.
According to the FSA the 150g pack is affected with a lot number of 01063402062022 and a best before date of January 2, 2023. It said the recall had been issued as a result of the "presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the products listed".
It added: "Symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.
"Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems."
It continued: "Lidl GB is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product."
