"The current public health advice to vulnerable groups on preventing listeria is to avoid the following:

- Prepacked or delicatessen sliced meats
- Soft cheeses - brie, camembert and chevre (goat's cheese)
- Smoked fish
- All kinds of pate including vegetable varieties
- Pre-prepared cooked and chilled meals
- Pre-prepared sandwiches
- Unpasteurised milk"
