Recall issued for ready-made dinners sold in supermarkets over safety fears
A popular brand of ready-made dinners have been pulled from supermarket shelves over fears they could contain a potentially deadly bacteria. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced on Friday that a brand of popular ready-made turkey and ham dinners produced by Ballymaguire Foods have been recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially deadly bacterium that causes food poisoning. This type of foodborne illness is known as listeriosis and can be particularly severe for pregnant women, newborns, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. The FSAI said: "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. A recall has been issued for various branded Turkey & Ham Dinners produced by Ballymaguire Foods due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes "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 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days." The products being recalled are sold in Centra, Supervalu and Musgraves Marketplace, among others supermarkets. The products affected by the recalled are: Centra Turkey & Ham Dinner Good Food Turkey & Ham Dinner Supervalu Turkey & Ham Dinner The food safety watchdog said that all pack sizes, all batch codes and all use-by dates have been recalled and that recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale. Retailers are requested to remove the implicated Turkey & Ham Dinners from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated ready-made meals and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers. Caterers have been told not use the implicated Turkey & Ham Dinners and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated products.
