The following notice has been issued by the Food Standards Agency:
Costco Wholesale is updating its recall to include its Dr. Praeger's brand Frozen Organic Veggie Burger because the products might contain Listeria monoctyogenes. Listeria is a food bacterium that can cause food poisoning. The company has previously recalled its Organic by Nature brand Organic Vegetable Medley.
The products below may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. 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. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.
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.
