Spar (UK) Ltd has recalled its Tikka Chicken Chunks due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause foodborne illness.
The recall specifically refers to Spar (UK)’s 140g pack of Tikka Chicken Chunks with a use by date of 24th February 2016.
Although the product has expired, the product is suitable for home freezing and therefore consumers may have frozen it to use at a later date.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause foodborne illness, particularly among key vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, unborn and newborn babies, those over 60 years old, and those with reduced immunity.
The company has displayed point-of-sale recall notices in its stores, which will inform consumer why the product is being recalled and what to do if they have bought the product.
No other Spar (UK) Ltd products are known to be affected.
