M&S Truffle Gouda Recalled in Northern Ireland Over Listeria

M&S is recalling its Food Truffle Gouda in Northern Ireland after Listeria monocytogenes was detected. The alert covers the 150g pack with an October use-by date.

What’s Affected

• Product: M&S Food Truffle Gouda
• Pack size: 150g
• Product code: 29424887
• Use by: 9 October 2026

What You Should Do

Do not eat the affected cheese. Return it to the shop where it was purchased for a full refund. The FSA identifies pregnant people, adults over 65 and people with weakened immune systems among the groups particularly vulnerable to listeria infection.

Why a July Recall Has an October Date

The affected cheese has a use-by date of 9 October, even though the alert was published in July. A pack stored for later could therefore remain at home for months after the initial announcement. Check the full Truffle Gouda name, 150g size and product code 29424887 rather than dismissing the alert because the cheese's date is much later than the recall.

The FSA confirms that Listeria monocytogenes was found. Its instruction to return affected packs applies to every customer, including people outside the groups identified as particularly vulnerable.

Keep the Label When Identifying a Purchase

If you removed the cheese from its wrapper for serving, use any saved label or photograph to check its code and date. Let anyone who ate from a matching pack know about the recall. The NHS listeriosis guide explains symptoms and when to seek urgent medical advice. This FSA notice covers Northern Ireland, so include where you bought it when contacting M&S.
