MORE than a dozen sandwich fillers have been taken off the shelves at a supermarket over fears they contain a bug which gives flu-like symptoms.

Sainsbury's own brand Deli Fillers were recalled after Listeria monocytogenes was found in some of the products.

A statement was released on the Food Standards Agency website.

Symptoms causes by Listeria can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.

But in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.

The statement said: "Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.

"If you have bought any of the products do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund."
