Cadbury branded deserts pulled from shelves in Listeria concerns

The affected deserts, all produced under licence by dairy giant Müller, have the use by dates of 17 and 18 May.

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

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 affected deserts are:

• Cadbury Daim Chocolate Desert (75g) – Use by date: 18 May.

The use-by dates can be found on the product lid. No other Müller or its Cadbury branded deserts are affected.
