All use-by dates are included
The notice states that all use-by dates are affected for the products listed. Consumers should therefore check the full product name, brand and pack size rather than relying only on the date printed on the packaging. The source notice does not provide a separate batch code.
Why have the products been recalled?
This is a microbiological food recall Ireland alert involving the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The affected range includes smoked salmon, hot smoked salmon, smoked mackerel and prawn cocktail products.
Listeria infection can cause mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea in healthy people. For vulnerable groups, infection can be severe and may lead to serious complications.
People considered more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes include:
- Pregnant women
- Infants
- Older adults
- People with weakened immune systems
The FSAI says the incubation period averages three weeks but can range from three to 70 days. Anyone concerned after eating an affected product should seek appropriate medical advice.
What consumers should do
Consumers are advised not to eat any of the implicated products. If you have one at home, identify it using the product name, brand and pack size, and keep it separate from other food while following instructions from the retailer or official notice.
- Do not eat a listed SuperValu, Centra or Inspired by Centra product.
- Check the product name and pack size carefully.
- Remember that all use-by dates are included in the alert.
- Follow the retailer’s arrangements for returning or dealing with the product.
- If you are concerned about possible illness, contact a healthcare professional.
The FSAI notice does not state whether a receipt is required, whether a refund is available, or whether products can be returned to a different store. Consumers should contact the relevant retailer for those details rather than assume the return policy.
Retailer action
SuperValu and Centra retailers have been asked to 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 and ensure recall notices reach retailer customers.
