Supermarkets are urgently recalling cheese over fears it may be contaminated with listeria.
Morrisons and ASDA have both issued 'do not eat' alerts over Taleggio, a soft Italian cheese.
Two products, one at each supermarket, are affected.
Food safety chiefs fear Brits who consume them could be sickened. Listeria can be life-threatening.

ASDA recalled its ASDA Extra Special Taleggio on March 31, also due to possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has today told the public not to eat the The Best Taleggio sold at Morrisons.
All batches of the cheese – up to and including April 28, 2024 – are affected by the recall.
This recall comes after ASDA recalled its ASDA Extra Special Taleggio on March 31, also due to possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes.
The supermarket is recalling all batches with the use by date April 14, 2024.
No other products are currently affected by the recall at either of the supermarkets.
The Italian soft cheese is sold in 200g packs for £2.75 in ASDA and £3.29 in Morrisons.
Both supermarkets explain to customers on their websites that the cheese develops a natural edible mould on the rind as it matures, which is typical of this type of cheese.
