Urgent Recall Alert: Popular Meals Snacks Sauces and Vegetables Pulled from Irish Supermarkets Including Dunnes and M&S
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued an urgent recall alert concerning several food products sold in major supermarkets across the nation. This action comes after the detection of undeclared allergens that could pose significant health risks, including severe allergic reactions and even fatalities.
Recall of Popular Meals and Snacks
The recent recall affects products found in prominent retailers such as Dunnes Stores, M&S, and various Asian supermarkets. Consumers are advised to check their purchases for the following affected items:
List of Recalled Products
- Fit Foods Beef & Mash with Pepper Sauce
This product contains undeclared sesame, soya, and celery, which can endanger those with allergies or intolerances to these ingredients.
- M&S Food Milk Chocolate Honeycomb (120g)
Potentially unsafe due to the presence of undeclared peanuts, posing a risk for consumers allergic to peanuts.
- Goldfish Brand Hot & Spicy Curry Sauce Concentrate
This sauce has been found to contain almonds and peanuts, even though it was labeled “Made in a nut-free factory.”
- Dried Shiitake Small Mushrooms
This batch contains undeclared sulphur dioxide, which could be harmful to individuals allergic to this substance.
The FSAI has instructed retailers to remove the implicated products from their shelves immediately. Additionally, they have asked stores to display recall notices at points of sale to inform customers.
Health Risks of Undeclared Allergens
Undeclared allergens can lead to serious health consequences. Consumers with known allergies should take this alert seriously and refrain from consuming the affected products. The recall reflects ongoing efforts to ensure food safety and protect public health in Ireland.
