Customers are being warned not to consume more than a dozen different deli and pre-packaged 'ready-to-eat' salads which have been recalled from as many as 400 supermarkets and other outlets throughout the country after listeria was found in some products.
The recall applies to specific batches of Pams, Bells, Bush Road and Country Foods brands and certain other unbranded salads. The full details of the salads recalled by South Island Fresh Foods Ltd are available here.

NZ Food Safety says listeria bacteria can make people sick and infection can be especially serious among vulnerable groups.
“If you think you have eaten contaminated product and are concerned for your health, please seek medical attention," NZFS food compliance manager Nigel Hughes said in a statement released today.

"Listeriosis infection can be serious among vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborn babies, people with weakened immune systems and elderly people.
"For those in the high-risk groups, listeriosis typically has an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks (or longer) before symptoms appear.
"Healthy adults are likely to experience only mild infection, causing mild diarrhoea and flu-like symptoms," he said.
"If you have consumed any of these products and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice."
