A warning has been issued to shoppers as a popular ready meal sold in Irish supermarkets has been urgently recalled amid concerns it could pose a serious health risk to some customers.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced on Friday that a batch of Fit Foods Beef & Mash with Pepper Sauce has been recalled as it contains a number of ingredients which are not listed on the label.
According to the food safety watchdog, certain batches of the popular ready meal, which are sold in Tesco and Dunnes Stores, contains sesame, soya and celery which are not declared in the list of ingredients.
The FSAI warned that this may make the batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of sesame, soya and / or celery and therefore, these consumers have been urged not to eat the implicated batch.

A recall has now been issued for batches of 400g packs of Fit Foods Beef & Mash with Pepper Sauce with a batch code of 2528101 and a use by date of 20/10/2025.
This latest recall comes just hours after the FSAI issued an urgent “do not eat” warning for a popular range of chicken nuggets; goujons and fillets sold in supermarkets all over the country.
The specific batches of chicken being recalled include Pekish chicken goujons (all use by dates up to and including 14/10/2025); Pekish chicken nuggets (all use by dates up to and including 16/10/2025) and Pekish breaded chicken fillets (all use by dates up to and including 18/10/2025).
The reason the products are being recalled by the FSAI is because the labels include incorrect cooking instructions.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.
