A large number of chicken products have been recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland<\/a> (FSAI) due to the presence of salmonella.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the FSAI said the Western Brand was recalling various batches of chicken products, which includes those sold under the Aldi<\/a>, Tesco<\/a>, Dunnes Stores<\/a>, Inishella and Lidl<\/a> brands.<\/p>\n

Chicken wings, drumsticks, whole chickens, a variety of fillet types, breasts, legs, diced chicken, thighs, rotisserie chickens and steaks were recalled.<\/p>\n

The affected products carried different batch codes and had use-by dates ranging from May 5th to May 14th. Some recalled chicken batches had added flavours and their packs differed in size.<\/p>\n

The FSAI said that, although some of the implicated batches are past their use-by date, the products are suitable for home freezing. It advised consumers not to eat the recalled products.<\/p>\n

The authority advised consumers to check their freezers for the implicated batches and said recall notices would be displayed at point of sale.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week the FSAI issued recall notices<\/a> for a smaller batch of chicken products by Manor Farm and Western Brand due to the possible presence of salmonella. <\/p>\n

Symptoms of salmonella typically develop anywhere between six to 72 hours after infection, although more commonly between 12 to 36 hours.<\/p>\n

Diarrhoea is the most common symptom. Others include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. <\/p>\n

The illness usually lasts four to seven days.<\/p>\n

The FSAI said wholesalers and distributors are requested to contact their affected retailer customers, recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to retailer customers.<\/p>\n

It added that retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point of sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A large number of chicken products have been recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) due…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[73],"tags":[2189,79,19264,18,948,3276,19,17,19267,3439,19265],"class_list":["post-484969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-aldi","tag-business","tag-dunnes-stores","tag-eire","tag-food-safety-authority-of-ireland","tag-food-production","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-lidl","tag-retail","tag-tesco"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116575088411607643","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
