Listeria Alert: Popular Oats Pot Pulled from Shelves
22 Nov
Summary
- Nutrilean Chocolate Brownie Overnight Oats recalled due to Listeria.
- Use-by date of November 25 is affected by the recall.
- Vulnerable groups advised to avoid potential contamination.
A significant food recall is currently underway in the UK, affecting a popular breakfast item. Nutrilean Chocolate Brownie Overnight Oats, specifically the 180g pots, are being recalled due to concerns over Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The Food Standards Agency has advised consumers to avoid purchasing or eating these products if they have a use-by date of November 25.
The presence of Listeria can lead to severe illness. Initial symptoms often mimic the flu, including high temperatures, muscle aches, chills, nausea, and diarrhea. However, certain demographics are at a heightened risk of developing more serious infections from Listeria exposure.
Particular caution is urged for individuals over 65, pregnant women, and young children. These vulnerable groups are more susceptible to severe complications from Listeria. Consumers in possession of the affected product are strongly encouraged to discard it safely or return it to the point of purchase.
