The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the product listed above.
Symptoms caused by this organism 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.
If you have bought any of the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.
Express - Jelly Cups
168 Express Ltd is recalling multiple jelly cup products because they contain carrageenan, sodium alginate and konjac, which are not permitted as an ingredient in jelly confectionery as they present a choking hazard.
XZL Strong Mixed Jelly
- Pack size: 360 g
XZL Jelly in School Bag
- Pack size: 600 g
The products contain carrageenan, sodium alginate and konjac gelling agents, which can present a choking hazard due to the consistency, solubility, shape, size and manner of consumption of the food. The product can be projected from the cup or capsule in one piece by exerting pressure at the tip and therefore can cause choking hazard.
If you have bought any of the above products do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. If you require further information, contact 168 Express Ltd by email at: info@168express.co.uk or by telephone on 02077769 094
