Further food recall due to listeria
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued a recall notice for a batch of Aldi Roast Chicken Basil Pesto Pasta.
The pack size is 284g and the best before date on the particular batch is 31/07/2025.
The batch of Roast Chicken Pesto Pasta is being recalled due to the presence of listeria monocytogenes.
The FSAI has stated that recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
It added that there is currently no evidence that this food recall is linked with the listeriosis outbreak related to ready-to-heat meals or the recall of spinach and mixed leaves products in the past fortnight.
Symptoms of listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.
Some people are more vulnerable to listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.
The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch
Last week it was confirmed that one person had died from a listeriosis infection.
The infection is usually acquired as a result of eating contaminated food.
The Health Service Executive (HSE) is investigating the death of the adult.
The HSE said that nine confirmed cases of listeriosis have been identified in Ireland since July 22).
A National Outbreak Control Team is currently investigating the "extensive outbreak of listeriosis".
