Two popular breakfast items have been urgently recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland - after Hepatitis A was found in them.
Ardo Frozen Fruitberry Mix and specific batches of Fit Foods Breakfast Club Porridge with Mixed Summer Berries should be chucked out immediately if you have them stored away in a cupboard or a press.
The alert was issued by the FSAI yesterday after the discovery of the Hepatitis A was made.
Symptoms of Hepatitis A include fever, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
Some people experience a fairly mild illness and recover within a couple of weeks.
Other people develop more severe symptoms and may take months to fully recover.
Swift Fine Foods notified food safety bosses about the potential infection risks in their Fit Foods Breakfast Club Porridge as a result of the discovery.
The affected batches are:
Fit Foods Breakfast Club Porridge with Mixed Summer Berries;
- pack size: 240g
- Use by dates: 26/08/22 and 29/08/22
Meanwhile, the affected batches of the Ardo Frozen Fruitberry mix are:
- Ardo Frozen Fruitberry Mix;
- pack size: 2500g
- batch code: Lot:58622131;
- Best before date: 31.05.24
Older people are more likely to have more severe symptoms and some infected children do not have any symptoms at all. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 28 days but can range from 15 to 50 days.
