Overview
- The Food Standards Agency issued a do‑not‑eat recall for Gilbert's Turkey Breast Pastrami after tests found Listeria monocytogenes.
- The action covers 142g packs with codes CK016 and CK027 and a use‑by date of 9 April 2026, sold by major supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Asda, Waitrose and Ocado.
- Retailers have removed the product, and stores are displaying point‑of‑sale notices that explain the recall and how to get help.
- Shoppers are told not to eat the meat and to return it for a full refund, and to watch for flu‑like symptoms such as fever, aches, chills, sickness and diarrhoea.
- No illnesses tied to this batch are reported in the coverage, and officials note listeria can grow in chilled, ready‑to‑eat foods like deli meats.
