An urgent recall has been issued for certain batches of a popular Halloween treat sold in Irish supermarkets due to a potential health risk.\"TheThe Halloween Tea Cakes were sold in a number of Irish supermarkets<\/p>\n

An urgent recall has been issued for batches of a popular Halloween treat<\/a> amid concerns it could pose a serious health risk to consumers.<\/p>\n

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland<\/a> (FSAI) is advising certain people who purchased the affected item to stop eating it immediately, and return it to the store for a full refund.<\/p>\n

The recall<\/a> affects specific batches of Rose Halloween Spooky Tea Cakes, which were mispacked with Rose Orchard Tea Cakes.<\/p>\n

The issue is because the product contains egg, which is not listed on the label, making it unsafe for people who are allergic to or intolerant<\/a> of eggs.<\/p>\n

The Halloween Tea Cakes were sold in a number of Irish supermarkets, including Aldi<\/a>, where they were priced at \u20ac2.99. The affected batches have the best before dates: 28\/08\/26, 18\/09\/26, 22\/09\/26 and 24\/09\/26.<\/p>\n

The FSAI has issued a ‘do not eat’ warning to anyone who is allergic or intolerant of eggs.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said: “The above batches of Rose Halloween Spooky Tea Cakes were mispacked with Rose Orchard Tea Cakes. The product contains egg which is not mentioned on the label. This may make the implicated batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of eggs <\/a>and therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batches. The affected batches are being recalled.”<\/p>\n

An egg intolerance and an egg allergy are different conditions, and the severity and risks vary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egg Intolerance affects the digestive system. People with an intolerance may struggle to digest egg whites, yolks or both, leading to digestive discomfort hours after eating. Symptoms are typically uncomfortable but not life-threatening. Many people may not even realise they have an intolerance, as symptoms can be delayed or mild when consuming small amounts.<\/p>\n

Egg Allergy involves the immune system. When exposed to eggs, the body treats them as a harmful invader and releases chemicals in response. An allergy can trigger severe, potentially life-threatening reactions, even from tiny amounts of egg. Symptoms can appear within 30 minutes of exposure, and reactions can also occur from touching eggs or inhaling particles in the air.<\/p>\n
