All smoked pork sausages produced by an Irish retailer are being recalled due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes.
The bacteria was detected in a batch of ready-to-eat smoked pork sausage produced by Rimantas Meats, Belturbet, Co Cavan.
Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, persistent fever and neck stiffness, and, in rare cases, it could cause meningitis.
Pregnant women, babies and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to the bug.
The batch of sausages, with a use by date of June 7 2019, was mainly sold in outlets in the north east of Ireland.
A Food Safety Authority of Ireland message said: "Listeria monocytogenes was detected in a batch of ready-to-eat smoked pork sausage which was produced by Rimantas Meats, Belturbet, Co Cavan.
"As a precautionary measure, all batches of Rimantas Meats smoked pork sausage are being recalled."
Consumers are being advised to not eat the product, while businesses are being asked to remove them from sale.
