It can lead to sickness, muscle pains and chills
Health officials have urged the public not to eat a semi soft cheese due to the risk of them being contaminated with listeria. The Food Standards Agency and UK Health Security Agency have issued a warning not to eat Baronet semi soft cheese, which have been recalled because they are contaminated with listeria.
It is often bought in small individual rounds and as 1kg wheels which may be cut down to order. Consumers have been advised to contact the retailer they bought their cheese from to find out if the Baronet cheese they have purchased is from the businesses and batches affected and in the meantime to not eat the product.Symptoms of listeriosis involve high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. The symptoms can be similar to the flu.
The UK Health Security Agency has identified three cases potentially linked to a listeria outbreak. Also, the outbreak has been found in some food products and samples taken from food environments, although it hasn’t been confirmed that Baronet is the cause of this outbreak, the organisation added. Both the Food Standards Agency and UK Health Security Agency will continue to work together and work with local authorities in response to this outbreak. Further recalls may be undertaken if any more products are found to be affected.
