A batch of children’s yoghurts is being recalled from Irish stores due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
Glenilen Farm Kids Banana Live Yoghurt was sold in shops around the country.
The affected product – pack size: 4x90g – has a use-by date of October 10 and originated in Ireland.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said: “The above batch of Glenilen Farm Kids Banana Live Yoghurt is being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
“Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at the point of sale.
“Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.”
Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.
Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.
The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.
