M&S recalls cheese product from Northern Ireland stores over listeria fears
Marks & Spencer is recalling a popular cheese product from its Northern Ireland stores over listeria concerns.
The retailer says it is recalling M&S Food Truffle Gouda due to the potential presence of listeria monocytogenes.
It is advising customers not to consume the product but return it to the nearest store for a full refund.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the recall is due to the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes.
Symptoms caused by listeria monocytogenes, the FSA added, can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
The affected product is: M&S Food Truffle Gouda, 150g, use by date 9 October 2026.
M&S said: “Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer and we take food safety extremely seriously.”
