SHOPPERS are being warned not to eat desserts that have been recalled over fears they contain Listeria.
Muller which manufactures Cadbury-branded desserts has recalled a number of items from its product line.

The dairy giant has issued the recall due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
Symptoms of a Listeria infection can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle aches or pain, chills feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
However, some people are more vulnerable to infection, including those over the age of 65, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one-month-old and people with weakened immune systems.
Here’s a full list of the following Cadbury desserts that have been recalled:
- Daim chocolate dessert (75g) – use by May 18
- Crunchie chocolate dessert (75g) – use by May 17
- Flake chocolate dessert (75g) – use by May 17
- Dairy Milk Buttons chocolate dessert (75g) – use by May 18
- Dairy Milk Chunks chocolate dessert (75g) – use by May 18
- Heroes chocolate dessert (six pack) (75g each) – use by May 18
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said that if you have bought any of the above products do not eat them.
Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund (with or without a receipt).
If you have any questions you can contact Muller by emailing [email protected] or calling 07354 835 893.

Muller has said that no other products or batches are affected by the recall.
The dairy giant was last forced to recall yoghurts sold in supermarkets back in 2020.
In recent weeks, Tesco was forced to recall its Free From Bran Flakes and Chocolate Pillows which were discovered to contain milk and hazelnuts.
This finding posed a risk to people with particular allergies.
The issue affects 300g packs with a best before date of 26 May 2024.
What are my rights to a refund?
If you’re returning a recalled product, your rights to get a refund depends on whether the fault makes the product unsafe.
Sometimes the business will repair the product, for example by fitting a new part. But this should be done for you.
If a fault makes a product unsafe to use — and it’s difficult to correct the fault — the Consumer Guarantees Act says you might have the right to reject the product and claim a replacement or a refund.
