The batch being recalled is numbered '306520' with a best before of 06/03/2024, originating from Italy.
The message posted by the FSAI to any affected customers in Ireland says: "The above batch of Schär Gluten Free Fibre Crispbread is being recalled due to the presence of elevated levels of atropine and scopolamine as they may cause a risk to human health."
It goes on to explain that atropine and scopolamine are tropane alkaloids.
"These toxins, which are naturally occurring in some plants, can contaminate some cereals, due to their presence among the crop at harvest time," the notice reads.
Customers will be alerted of the product recall notice at point-of-sale in shops.
