A number of brands of cooked ham products have been recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
The hams are from the Brady Family, Tesco Finest and Lidl's Deluxe range.
According to the FSAI, the symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
