Tesco and Spar Recall 18 Cheeses Over Listeria Fears – What You Need to Know
Hey everyone, if you’ve recently picked up cheese from Tesco or Spar, you’ll want to check your fridge ASAP. A major recall has been issued for 18 different cheese products due to potential Listeria contamination . The manufacturer, JOD Food Products , has warned that these cheeses may contain Listeria monocytogenes , a bacterium that can cause serious illness, particularly in vulnerable individuals.
Now, if you’re not familiar with Listeria, it’s a nasty bacteria that can lead to flu-like symptoms —high fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. In more severe cases, it can even cause sepsis, meningitis, or pregnancy complications . Those at the highest risk include pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and anyone with a weakened immune system .
So, what cheeses are affected? Here’s a quick rundown of just a few:
