People who become infected with listeria can develop an illness called listeriosis.

The illness can be dangerous for certain people including newborn babies, pregnant women, people over 65 or those who have a weakened immune system.

Listeriosis symptoms include fever, muscle aches and joint pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting and fatigue.

It can also lead to complications such as septicaemia or meningitis which can be life-threatening.

Consumers have been told not to eat the recalled products.

“Consumers should return the product(s) to the place of purchase for a full refund,” Food Safety Australia and New Zealand said.

“Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.”
