Three pasta salad products have been recalled from two major UK supermarkets over fears of possible contamination.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a ‘do not eat’ warning over the products manufactured by Greencore due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious illness.
They are Asda’s cheese and tomato pasta salad and nacho cheese pasta salad, and Morrisons chicken and bacon pasta.
Anyone who bought them is advised to return them to their nearest store where they will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt.

What is listeria?
Listeria is a bacterium that causes listeriosis, a foodborne infection that is usually caught by eating unpasteurised dairy, cheese, deli meats, and other products.
Those who fall ill usually experience flu-like symptoms, including high temperatures, muscle aches, chills, and vomiting and diarrhoea.
In more serious cases, Listeria infections can lead to complications like meningitis and even death.
The FSA warns that those over the age of 65, pregnant women and their unborn babies, as well as babies under one month of age and those with weakened immune systems, are all more vulnerable to listeria infections.
