What is the reason for the recall?
This food product recall Ireland alert concerns the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products are not being recalled because of a reported change in taste or appearance, so checking the label and use-by date is important.
Listeria infection may cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, in healthy people. The FSAI warns that infection can be severe in people who are more vulnerable, including pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The incubation period can vary considerably. According to the FSAI, symptoms may appear on average after three weeks, but the period can range from three to 70 days.
What consumers should do
Consumers are advised not to eat any of the implicated products. If you have one at home, keep it separate from other food and follow the retailer’s or official recall guidance rather than consuming it.
- Check whether the product name and pack size match the list above.
- Apply the warning to all use-by dates identified in the FSAI notice.
- Do not eat an affected product, even if it looks or smells normal.
- Look for recall notices displayed at the point of sale.
- Contact the store for information about returning the product and any refund process.
The official notice does not confirm that a receipt is unnecessary or set out a single refund procedure for every store. Customers should therefore check directly with the relevant SuperValu or Centra outlet before returning the product.
Which retailers are involved?
The affected products are sold under SuperValu, Centra and Inspired by Centra branding. This is therefore a multi-retailer recall involving products available through those retail networks. The notice does not state that other supermarket chains, convenience stores or brands are included.
Retailers have been asked to remove implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at the point of sale. Wholesalers and distributors have also been asked to contact affected customers and support the withdrawal.
