Six Cadbury chocolate desserts are being recalled over fears the products could be contaminated with listeria.
The products, made by dairy giant Muller, are being pulled from sale immediately as the bug causes food poisoning, with a particular threat to pregnant women and their unborn babies.
The main symptoms of listeria poisoning are similar to the flu - a high temperature, muscle aches or pain, chills, feeling or being sick, and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications such as meningitis.
