Urgent warning: Breakfast food that may cause muscle ache, sickness, and chills is pulled from shelves

The affected product comes in 180g containers with a use-by date of November 25, 2025.

Laboratory testing revealed contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially dangerous pathogen.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is urging shoppers not to consume the product, stating: "If you have bought the above product, do not eat it."

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has also issued an alert, extending the recall across the Republic of Ireland.

Retailers have been instructed to remove the affected products from their shelves immediately, with health authorities warning that the bacterial contamination poses a serious "danger" to public health.

Officials warned: "Symptoms caused by Listeria monocytogenes can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick, and diarrhoea."

The infection can prove particularly dangerous for certain groups. "Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems," the FSA added.

In rare cases, the bacteria can lead to "serious complications" such as meningitis.

The incubation period varies considerably, typically averaging three weeks but potentially ranging from three to 70 days.

To avoid becoming unwell, those who have purchased the contaminated product should take immediate action.

The FSA advised: "If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead, return it to where you bought it from for a full refund."

Nutrilean has arranged for warning notices to be prominently displayed at all affected retail locations. These alerts will inform shoppers about the recall and provide instructions for returning the product.

The FSAI has issued similar guidance for Irish consumers, adding: "Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

"Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers."

The recall represents a coordinated response between British and Irish food safety authorities to protect public health.

British and Irish shoppers were recently warned about popular herbs that may contain stalk, bark, and plastic.

Several batches of Dunnes Stores Sage and one batch of Herbes de Provence have been recalled from the major retailer Dunnes Stores.

Affected shoppers were advised to follow the typical recall procedure: do not consume the products, and return them to stores for a full refund.
