For anyone checking recalled food products Ireland notices, the key details are the exact product name, the batch recall Ireland code and the use-by date. This is the quickest way to confirm whether you have an affected item at home.
Why these sausages have been recalled
The FSAI food recall states that the implicated batches are being recalled due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This means the alert is a microbiological food recall rather than a precautionary withdrawal over labelling or a possible undeclared allergen recall.
Because the organism was identified in the affected products, this food contamination alert Ireland notice should be taken seriously, especially by higher-risk consumers. The recall does not apply to all Peklimar products, only the specific batch listed in the official notice.
What is Listeria and who is most at risk?
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause illness after contaminated food is eaten. In healthy adults, symptoms can be mild and may include flu-like illness or stomach upset such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
However, the risk can be much more serious for:
- Pregnant women
- Infants
- Older adults
- People with weakened immune systems
According to the official food safety alert Ireland notice, the incubation period is usually around three weeks, but it can range from 3 to 70 days. That means symptoms do not always appear quickly after exposure.
This Listeria food recall Ireland update does not say that anyone has become ill. It is a consumer food alert Ireland notice based on the contaminated batches identified in the supply chain.
What consumers should do now
If you bought either of the affected sausage products, check the label carefully. Look for the recalled food batch number, product name and use-by date shown in the FSAI recall list.
- Do not eat the affected batches
- Check the food recall batch code: 1R808070707
- Check the food recall use-by date on your pack
- Keep an eye out for recall notices displayed in stores
- If you are worried after eating the product, seek appropriate medical advice
This product recall Ireland notice is aimed at helping shoppers identify the affected goods quickly. If your pack matches the details above, treat it as a do not eat product recall.
Retailers and food businesses have also been told to act
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland recalls notice says retailers should remove the implicated batches from sale and display point-of-sale recall notices. Wholesalers and distributors have also been told to contact affected customers and recall the products.
The official alert does not name specific supermarkets or stores in the published notice provided, so it would be inaccurate to describe this as a Tesco food recall, Lidl food recall, Aldi food recall or Dunnes Stores food recall unless a retailer later confirms it stocked the products. For now, this supermarket food recall and product withdrawal Ireland action should be understood as applying wherever the affected batches were officially supplied in Ireland.
