Specific batches of 750g Roast Chicken and Gravy Dinners produced by Kilbride Classic Cuisine are being recalled in Ireland because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers should not eat the affected products and should check the back-of-pack information, as the front label may differ between stores.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued the Category 1 food alert on Friday, 18 September 2026. The alert covers products sold under different front-of-pack labels, but the affected dinners state “Produced by: Kilbride Classic Cuisine” on the back label.
Products included in the food recall Ireland alert
The recall applies to specific batches of prepared Roast Chicken and Gravy Dinners with a 750g pack size. The front label may contain information about the individual store where the product was purchased, so consumers should not rely solely on the product name displayed on the front.

- Alternative labelling: Roast Chicken & Gravy Dinner, with “Produced by: Kilbride Classic Cuisine” on the back

No batch code was provided in the FSAI notice. Consumers should therefore check the use-by date and the back-of-pack producer information when determining whether a dinner is included in this product recall Ireland alert.
Why has the product been recalled?
The dinners are being recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This is a precautionary food recall: the official notice does not state that every product in the affected batches contains the bacterium.
Listeria infection may cause mild flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy people, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. It can be more serious for people who are particularly vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The FSAI states that the incubation period can vary considerably. Anyone who has eaten an affected product and is concerned about their health should seek appropriate medical advice.
What consumers should do
Consumers who have one of the affected 750g dinners should follow the FSAI instruction not to eat it.
- Check the back label for “Produced by: Kilbride Classic Cuisine”.
- Check whether the use-by date is one of those listed in the recall.
- Do not eat the product if it matches the affected details.
- Follow instructions from the retailer or seller regarding the recalled product.
Because the front-of-pack label varies from store to store, a product may not look identical to another recalled dinner. The back label is the key identification point provided in the official food safety warning.
Retailer and point-of-sale action
The FSAI has requested that retailers remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at points of sale. Wholesalers and distributors have also been asked to contact affected customers, recall the products and provide recall notices to retailer customers.
The official notice does not name individual supermarket chains or provide specific refund arrangements. Consumers should contact the store where the dinner was purchased for return and refund information. Details such as whether a receipt is required have not been confirmed in the FSAI alert.
