"Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days."
The FSAI requested that retailers remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Meanwhile, the authority advises consumers not to eat products from the implicated batch.
