Turkey and ham dinners recalled from shops and supermarkets due to possible listeria
THE FOOD SAFETY Authority has recalled turkey and ham dinners sold by a number of supermarkets around the country due to the possible presence of a harmful bacteria.
The ready-made meals, which are produced by the company Ballymaguire Foods, may contain Listeria monocytogenes.
The pathogenic bacteria, according to the FSAI, can cause diarrhoea, fever, headache and myalgia (muscle pain).
In cases where the affected person is already at risk, such as pregnant women, cancer patients, AIDS patients, the elderly and the very young, the disease cause by the bacteria can be more severe, and even fatal.

Today's recall order covers all package sizes, all bar codes and all use-by dates.
Retailers are asked to remove the dinners from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Wholesalers and distributors are asked to contact their affected customers and recall the dinners.
Caterers should not use the implicated turkey and ham Dinners.
The products covered by this recall are:
Centra Turkey & Ham Dinner
Good Food Turkey & Ham Dinner
Supervalu Turkey & Ham Dinner
Last month, the FSAI recalled the Ballymaguire Foods Bacon and Cabbage ready meals for the same reason.
