Some chicken wings are being recalled from Lidl stores after traces of a pathogenic bacteria were found in the product.
Traces of Listeria monocytogenes have been found in Glensallagh salt and chilli chicken wings, manufactured by McCaughey Foods.
The wings are only sold in Lidl stores in Northern Ireland.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued the recall on Tuesday.
Listeria monocytogenes is a species of pathogenic bacteria that can cause symptoms similar to flu.
Consumers may experience high temperatures, chills, and muscle aches or pains.
They may also experience feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can have more severe consequences, causing serious complications such as meningitis.
Pregnant women, people over 65, babies under one month old, and people with weakened immune systems can be more vulnerable to listeria infections.
