Musgrave has today announced it is recalling some ham products from a number of Super Valu and Centra stores due to the possible presence of Listeria.
In a statement, the company said Rudd Fine Foods had alerted it to the possible presence of Listeria, a common food-borne bacterium, in three products it supplies to the company.
Musgrave said it has traced the products back to all affected stores and has pulled all the stock as a precaution.
The products, which Musgrave says were supplied to a "limited number" of stores, are SuperValu Homestyle Crumbed Ham, Centra Homestyle Crumbed Ham and Centra Homestyle Cooked Ham.
The meat is from a batch - code 18.09.2009/Batch 276 - that was delivered to Musgrave from 18th-27th August and has an expiration date of 18th September 2009. The products are cut in store at the deli-counter, not pre-packed, and have a two-day shelf life from the point of purchase.
Anyone who has bought any of the affected batch is advised not to consume the meat and instead dispose of it immediately.
