Superior Ham, a product sold in select Lidl stores, is being recalled due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The product was distributed in certain Lidl supermarkets.

The product in question is Superior Ham without Rind Label Rouge, 4 slices, 160g. The GTIN is 4056489040408, with batch number... See More 07524. The use-by date is 04/09/2024 and it was marketed from 03/21/2024 to 03/25/2024.

The recall was initiated after the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. The recall procedure is expected to end on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

In case you are experiencing Listeria monocytogenes symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
