Which Asda and Morrisons Pasta Salads Are Being Recalled Due to Listeria Contamination

Asda Morrisons pasta salad recall

Asda and Morrisons customers are being urged not to eat three chilled pasta products following a recall over possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Food producer Greencore has recalled three pasta products sold at Asda and Morrisons after concerns that they may be contaminated with Listeria. The affected products include two Asda pasta salads and one Morrisons pasta product.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has advised customers who have purchased any of the affected products not to eat them. Customers should return the products to their nearest store for a full refund, and a receipt is not required.

Why have the pasta products been recalled?

Greencore issued the recall because the products could potentially be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a type of bacteria that can cause listeriosis.

Listeria contamination can be particularly concerning in chilled, ready-to-eat foods because the bacteria can survive and multiply under refrigeration.

The FSA has therefore advised consumers who have bought the affected products not to eat them.

What should customers do with the recalled pasta?

If you have one of the affected products at home, do not eat it, even if it looks and smells normal.

Instead:

1. Check the product name, pack size and use-by date against the recall details.
2. Do not consume an affected product.
3. Return it to your nearest Asda or Morrisons store.
4. Request a full refund.
5. You do not need a receipt to receive the refund.

What are the symptoms of listeriosis?

Listeriosis is an infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes. In many people it can cause relatively mild symptoms, but in some cases it can become serious.

Possible symptoms include:

High temperature or fever
Muscle aches or pain
Chills
Feeling or being sick
Diarrhoea

In rare cases, listeriosis can lead to serious complications, including meningitis.

Who is most vulnerable?

Certain groups have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from a Listeria infection. These include:

Pregnant women and their unborn babies
People aged over 65
Babies under one month old
People with weakened immune systems

Anyone who is concerned about symptoms after eating a recalled product should seek appropriate medical advice.

What is Listeria?

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can contaminate food. Listeriosis is relatively rare, but infection can sometimes be serious.

The bacteria can be found in a variety of foods, particularly chilled, ready-to-eat products. Examples include pre-prepared salads and sandwiches, cooked and cured meats, smoked fish, pâté and certain cheeses.

What should you do if you already ate the recalled pasta?

If you have eaten one of the recalled products, do not panic. Monitor yourself for symptoms and seek medical advice if you become unwell or have concerns, particularly if you are in a higher-risk group.

The recall is a precautionary food-safety measure because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
