Why the products have been recalled
This product recall Ireland notice concerns the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The FSAI says healthy people may experience mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, following infection.
The risk can be more serious for vulnerable people. Those identified by the FSAI as more vulnerable to Listeria infection include pregnant women, infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. The average incubation period is three weeks, although it can range from three to 70 days.
The alert does not state that every product in the listed categories is affected. Consumers should use the exact product names and pack sizes in the official notice when checking food at home.
What consumers should do
Consumers who have purchased one of the listed products should check the product name, pack size and use-by date. Because all use-by dates are included in the alert, an affected product should not be eaten regardless of the date shown.
- Do not eat any listed product covered by the alert.
- Keep the product separate from other food where practical.
- Follow instructions from the retailer about returning or disposing of the product.
- Check household refrigerators and food prepared using the affected products.
- If you are concerned after eating an affected product, seek appropriate medical advice.
The FSAI notice does not provide specific information about receipt requirements, refunds or whether products must be returned to the original store. Consumers should contact the relevant SuperValu or Centra store for retailer-specific return and refund arrangements.
Retailer and supply-chain 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 point-of-sale notices to retailer customers.
The products named in the notice are associated with SuperValu, Centra and Inspired by Centra. The alert does not confirm that every branch stocked every product, so consumers should rely on the product details rather than assume that all stores were affected.
