An announcement has been made to consumers not to eat ready-made meals that have been recently bought in supermarkets due to a listeria outbreak.

The contamination of these meals has led to an urgent recall after one adult has died following a confirmed case of listeria infection.

Joining Andrea to discuss is Dr Maire Finn, GP from Ennis Centric Health, Registered Dietitian and Presenter with Today FM Shelly Gray, Adrian Martin, Chef and owner of Wild Flower restaurant in Blackrock and Butcher and owner of Kerrigan's Craft Butchers, Barry Kerrigan.
