The various meals and side dishes impacted by this recall include cottage pie with peas & carrots dinner, chicken curry & rice, beef burger dinner, beef lasagne, chicken & pasta bake and much, much more.

The food products are sold in a multitude of popular stores such as Tesco, Supervalu, Centra and Aldi. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.

All pack sizes are affected as well as all batches and best before dates. Establishment approval number is IE 4008 EC.

The time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.
