Lidl Ireland has issued an urgent recall of its Deluxe Sriracha Cheddar Cheese Wedge (150g) due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes.
The affected batch, with a best-before date of May 11, 2025, poses a risk of severe infection, prompting Lidl to display point-of-sale recall notices across all its stores.
Nature of the Danger
Listeria monocytogenes can cause a range of symptoms, including mild flu-like conditions, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection may lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
The incubation period for the infection averages around three weeks but may extend anywhere from three to 70 days.
