Several chicken wings are now being recalled from Lidl stores after traces of a pathogenic bacteria were discovered in the product.
Traces of Listeria monocytogenes have been found in Glensallagh salt and chilli chicken wings – a product of McCaughey Foods.
The chicken wings are only sold in Lidl stores in Northern Ireland and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued the recall in a statement on Tuesday.
Listeria monocytogenes is a species of pathogenic bacteria that can cause symptoms akin to flu.
Consumers suffering from it may experience high temperatures, chills, and muscle aches or pains.
They may also experience feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can lead to more severe complications such as meningitis.
Pregnant women, people over the age of 65, babies under one month old, and people with weakened immune systems have been said to be more susceptible to listeria infections.
