Health food supplement sold online recalled due to presence of Salmonella
A popular health food supplement sold online is being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned consumers that all batches and best before dates of Orgenism Eggshell Membrane Capsules that are sold on Amazon are being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella.
Eggshell membrane capsules are health food supplements made from the thin layer found between the eggshell and egg white that reduce joint pain and stiffness and improve joint flexibility.
The FSAI has now issued a recall for Orgenism Eggshell Membrane Capsules; pack size: 60 capsules, 500 mg per serving with all batch codes and all best before dates due to the presence of Salmonella.
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six and 72 hours.
The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps.
The illness usually lasts four to seven days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
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 retail customers.
Caterers should not use the implicated batches and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.

Coroner warns of danger of recreational helium use after man's tragic death
A coroner has warned of the dangers of helium for recreational use after hearing how a 32-year-old factory worker was found dead last December in a house he shared with his parents in Ballyhaunis, Co. Mayo. The inquest into the death of Stefan Danicic, a Croatian national, was conducted in Ballina Courthouse by the Coroner for the District of Mayo, Dr. Eleanor Fitzgerald. The deceased's father, Karim, in a deposition to Gardaí read to the inquest, said his wife (Snezana) screamed after discovering their son lying dead on the floor of his bedroom at St. Gerard's Court, Ballyhaunis, on December 13 last. An empty canister of helium was found in the bed beside the body. There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, Garda David Brandley outlined in a statement which was read into evidence at the hearing. Medical evidence was given to the inquest that Mr. Danicic died from asphyxiation due to helium inhalation. After hearing all the evidence, Coroner Fitzgerald said it was the first such case she had come across in her time as a coroner. 'Helium is very toxic,' the coroner stated. 'There is a lack of awareness as to how dangerous it is. It is very easy to obtain. It displaces oxygen from the airways leading to asphyxia.' The coroner said that death from helium use can be more instant than for alcohol or other drugs. She recorded a verdict of misadventure.
