Müller has recently announced a precautionary recall of some of its Cadbury dessert products due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Customers have been urged to check the use-by dates for the listed products, which are Wednesday, May 17 and Thursday, May 18. The food recall alert was for several Cadbury dessert products, including Daim Chocolate Dessert, Crunchie Chocolate Dessert, Flake Chocolate Dessert, Dairy Milk Buttons Chocolate Dessert, Dairy Milk Chunks Chocolate Dessert, and Cadbury Heroes Chocolate Dessert (six pack).
Those who have bought the suspected items are urged not to eat them and are instead advised to return them to the shop they bought them from for a full refund (with or without a receipt). Customers can contact Müller on [email protected] or 07354 835 893 for further information.
The symptoms of listeria can range from mild to severe, and can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women. For many people, listeria has no symptoms or only causes mild symptoms over a few days, including a high temperature of 38C or above, aches and pains, chills, feeling or being sick, and diarrhoea. However, pregnant women may also suffer from a stomach ache or notice their baby move less than usual.
It is important to take the necessary precautions to prevent listeria contamination. This includes washing hands with soap and warm water before and after handling food, washing fruit and vegetables before eating, and separating raw and cooked foods. In addition, it is important to cook food thoroughly to kill off any bacteria, and store food in the fridge at 5°C or below.
It is essential that customers who have purchased the potentially infected Cadbury dessert products check the use-by dates and return them to the shop they bought them from for a full refund. By taking the necessary precautions, customers can help to ensure their food is safe and free from contamination.
