Why It Matters

These recalls aim to prevent illnesses caused by Listeria and Salmonella:

• Listeria: Can cause fever, muscle aches, nausea, and severe illness — especially dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, and immunocompromised individuals.
• Salmonella: Causes diarrhoea, fever, cramps; may lead to hospitalisation in severe cases.

What To Do

• Don’t eat any of the recalled products.
• Return or dispose of them safely.
• If symptoms appear after consumption, seek medical advice immediately
