Morrisons has recalled a meat product after finding it was infected with a bug that can lead to meningitis.
The chain has recalled 150g ready-to-eat peppered beef slices after the Food Standards Agency said they could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The bug causes flu-like symptoms such as high temperature, muscle ache, pain, chills, sickness and diarrohoea – but in severe cases, the infection can lead to meningitis.

Listeriosis is responsible for more deaths in the UK than any other food-borne bacteria, such as salmonella.
And some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, such as over 65s, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
If you have bought the product, you are advised to return it to the store and get a refund.
