In an update by the Food Standards Agency, it said: "Lidl GB is extending the recall of Smoked Trout to include Smoked Salmon products, produced by St James Smokehouse because these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes." Read the full alert here.
Symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.
Point of sale notices are to be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products, explaining to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.
Anyone who is bought the products is told to not eat them and instead return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund. Any queries or concerns can be directed to Lidl Customer Services on 0800 977 7766 or customer.services@lidl.co.uk. Lidl apologised in its notice.
