All batches and all dates of pre-cooked and ready-to-eat meat products manufactured by Swiss Deli Ltd are being recalled over bacteria concerns.
New Zealand Food Safety said a lack of processing controls might have resulted in the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
The bacterium can cause serious illness, called listeriosis, with
symptoms including diarrhoea, fever, headaches, vomiting and muscle pain.
Two Pams Finest brand products are also included in the recall, Biersticks 160g and Mini Salami Twin Pack 150g.
New Zealand Food Safety warned people not to consume the affected products unless it is cooked thoroughly, "piping hot all the way through", it said.
