Morrisons has pulled its The Best Taleggio with a use by date of April 14 as there is a risk that some packs may contain listeria – here is what you need to know
Morrisons has recalled a type of cheese over fears of a possible listeria contamination.
The supermarket has pulled its The Best Taleggio with a use by date of April 14 as there is a “potential risk” that some packs may contain listeria. Symptoms of listeria poisoning include a high temperature, aches and pains, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
If you’ve purchased one of these cheeses with the use by date of April 14, you can return it to your nearest store for a full refund. You won’t need a receipt to get your money back. No other use by dates are included in the recall.
Morrisons said: “Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We don’t need a receipt. No other products are affected by this issue. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety.”
For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they’ve pulled a product from shelves.
Lidl, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose have also issued recalls in recent weeks, and have urged customers who have bought the affected products to return them to their local store for a full refund. Some of the recall notices were down to potential allergen contamination – however, other products were at risk of containing glass and metal.
Lidl issued a customer safety warning as numerous cookies sold in stores could contain pieces of metal. Waitrose and Sainsbury’s have both issued major recall notices for Patak’s Aubergine Pickle because it may contain pieces of glass making it unsafe to eat. Doritos has recalled its Tangy Cheese flavour from Tesco stores as soya has not been declared on the ingredients list.
