Asda Extra Special Taleggio has been recalled
ASDA
Food can be recalled for various reasons and the affected batches of cheese were recalled as they may contain Listeria, potentially causing serious illness.
Asda states: "Asda are recalling Asda Extra Special Taleggio Date Code 14th April 2024 because there is a potential that some packs may contain Listeria monocytogenes.
"If you have purchased Asda ES Taleggio with date code 14-04-2024, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt.
"We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you would like any further information, please contact: Asda Customer Relations – 0800 952 0101."
Listeria monocytogenes symptoms range in severity and can include fever, headaches, confusion, flu-like symptoms, loss of balance and even seizures.
Those who have been shopping in Asda supermarkets should not eat the cheese and instead return it, where they will be given a full refund.
This comes as cheese sold in Morrisons was also found to contain listeria monocytogenes and customers were urged to return the batches.
Unilever has also shared a food recall warning for Magnum ice creams including packs sold in Sainsbury's and Iceland.
A statement from manufacturer Unilever states: "Magnum is taking the precautionary measures of recalling a limited number of Magnum Classic Ice Cream Sticks 3x100ml due to internal safety checks showing that they may contain small pieces of metal.
