Delhaize has recalled a batch of smoked chicken after traces of listeria were found in the product.

The recall concerns only the Delhaize brand of “emincé de poulet à l’italienne”. It comes after consultation with Belgian food safety authority the AFSCA.

Delhaize has already withdrawn from sale the affected batch, which forms part of batch 6202, best before date 17/08/2016.

The supermarket chain is urging clients who may have purchased the product not to consume it but to return it to a Delhaize store for a refund.
