The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has issued a recall notice on a popular Centra product after it was discovered to have the wrong use-by date listed.
A number of batches of King Prawns have been affected due to an error that saw a number of packets be marked with a much farther off use-by date.
This particular product is labelled as ‘Centra King Prawns (Cooked & Peeled),’ and are in a pack size of 180g.

The use-by dates stated on the labels are 16/07/2022 and 22/07/2022, however, the correct use-by dates are 16/06/2022 and 22/06/2022.
Point of sale recall notices have been placed in all affected stores and customers will receive a full refund when returning the product.
A statement released by the FSAI confirmed: “The above batches of Centra King Prawns are being recalled as they have been mislabelled with incorrect use-by dates.
“The use-by dates stated on the labels are 16/07/2022 and 22/07/2022, however, the correct use-by dates are 16/06/2022 and 22/06/2022.
“Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in Centra stores supplied with the implicated batches.”
Boots recall
This comes after Boots customers were warned of a recall of a popular food supplement due to undeclared allergens.
On Wednesday, all batches and pack sizes up to and including March 2024 were recalled from a brand sold in the health and beauty retailer, under the brand name ‘Aguulp.’
Food safety authorities found it contains a sugar derived from milk that was not declared on the label, which could make some consumers ill.
Anyone who is intolerant of milk or lactose is advised not to ingest the product, which is sold in exclusively in Boots and on the Aguulp website.
A notice issued by the Food Safety Authority read: “Aguulp is recalling all pack sizes of Aguulp for Gut natural mint flavouring because it contains an ingredient derived from lactose (a sugar naturally found in milk) that is not declared on the ingredients list.
“This may make the affected product unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant to milk or lactose.
“The product is sold online at Boots Pharmacy and on the Aguulp website.”
