Consumers are being warned not to eat the meals and side dishes as they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful bacterium. The 201 products include chicken curries, lasagnes, bolognese, pasta bakes, cottage pies, and chow mein. Affected side dishes include ready-made mashed potatoes, carrots and peas, green cabbage and pilau rice. They have been sold in Tesco, SuperValu, Centra, Lidl, Aldi, and other outlets.

Wholesalers and distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated products, while caterers should not use these products. Consumers are advised not to eat the listed products, and to check their freezers and throw out any of the ready meals mentioned. The products are produced by food manufacturer Bally-Maguire Foods, from Lusk, Co. Dublin, which describes itself as a market leader in chilled ready meals. Its products are marketed under the private label brands of its customers, and the affected products include Tesco's Meals Made Easy, Irish Classics and Finest products.

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. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Ballymaguire Foods said that it had taken 'immediate corrective actions' and has apologised to its customers for any concern caused. It said it had issued a full 'precautionary recall' of all products prepared at one of its facilities, after a quality control check identified Listeria bacteria. 'Incidents of this nature are extremely rare for us. We are treating it with the utmost seriousness and are working closely with all parties to manage the situation swiftly and responsibly,' it said in a statement. The company said it had undertaken a full pharmaceutical-grade clean-down of the facility, and 'will resume production once it is confirmed safe to do so'.
