"​Food Safety New Zealand says listeriosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease with a high death rate.
Listeria symptoms can be flu-like, including high temperature, aches, chills, vomiting and diarrhoea.
"Healthy adults are likely to experience only mild infection, causing flu-like symptoms or gastroenteritis.
"However, Listeria infection can occasionally lead to severe blood poisoning (septicaemia) or meningitis."
