Several supermarkets across Ireland were forced to remove products from their shelves after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued a number of recall notices in recent weeks.
Chicken, ice cream and sauces sold in stores such as Dunnes, Aldi, Supervalu and Tesco were all among items pulled from aisles due to safety concerns.
Irish households have now been urged to check their cupboards, fridges and freezers for the implicated batched.
Point of sale notices will be posted in any supermarkets that stocked the food items, and a refund will be given for returning the affected batches.
Here is a look at the items to watch out for this week.
Dunnes Stores Free Range Irish Chicken
Dunnes Stores is recalling some of its Free Range Irish Chicken as the product weight is not labelled correctly. Therefore, the cooking instructions on the label are incorrect.
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch with the use by date of September 18, 2022.
Haagen-Dazs Duo Vanilla Crunch Collection Ice Cream
Häagen-Dazs Duo Vanilla Crunch Collection ice cream is being recalled due to the presence of the unauthorised pesticide ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide is a pesticide that is not permitted for use in foods sold in the EU but is approved for use by other countries outside the EU.
Although the consumption of the contaminated product does not pose an acute risk to health, there is an increased risk if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide in contaminated food over a long period of time.
Therefore, exposure to ethylene oxide needs to be minimised.
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch with a best before date of March 23, 2023.
Aldi Bramwells Tartare Sauce
The implicated batch of Aldi Bramwells Tartare Sauce was mispacked with Aldi Bramwells Horseradish Sauce.
The product contains sulphites which are not declared on the ingredients list.
This may make the implicated batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of sulphur dioxide and sulphites.
The implicated batch code was - 2118; best before date: APR 2023
Galberts Plant Based Lemon Cheesecake
A batch of Galberts Plant Based Lemon Cheesecake has been recalled.
Walnuts were detected in an ingredient of the cheesecake base, but they were not an intentional ingredient and are therefore not mentioned on the label.
This may make the affected batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of walnuts.
Galberts Plant Based Desserts Lemon Cheesecake; pack size: 2 x 100g; all batches and all expiry dates.
