Cadbury recall 2023: List of desserts and all you need to know amid Listeria fears 

The popular food giant, Mülller has issued a nationwide recall for thousands of Cadbury desserts over food poisoning concerns. It is feared that the recalled products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Consumption of the recalled products may cause severe to fatal infections and other health risks.

Announced on May 2, 2023, the voluntary recall was initiated as a precautionary measure. As per the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Müller decided to recall the affected dessert products because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes, which could prove to be a serious health risk for customers.

As of now, neither the establishment nor the FSA have shared details of any sicknesses or fatalities in regards to consumption of the recalled products. Consumption of Listeria-contaminated food can cause fatal infections and other health risks in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

While healthy individuals may only suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, a Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

These infections can severely affect people with underlying medical conditions or those who have undergone major medical treatments like organ transplants. Patients who experience any of the aforementioned symptoms are advised to visit a medical care center or consult a doctor at the earliest possible date.
