The FSAI (Food Safety Authority of Ireland) has recalled a number of products amid potential Salmonella presence this weekend.

Salmonella infection occurs when a person eats contaminated food, drinks contaminated water or touches animals, their faeces, or where they live.

Symptoms of the infection include diarrhoea, fever, headache and abdominal cramps.

On Saturday, the FSAI recalled specific Dunnes Stores Baxter & Green loose salad products and pre-package products.

SuperValu Seed Mix and Gem Sesame Seed products were also recalled.

Retailers are being requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale, while consumers are being advised not to eat the implicated batches.

More than 40 products are being recalled from the Baxter & Green range, including their Asian style chicken & rice salad; their Falafel, Hummus & Carrot wrap; and their Vegetarian Nut Loaf.

SuperValu 200g Seed Mix with a batch code of 163 and 166 and a best before date of May 2027 are also being recalled.

Packs with a batch code of 191 and best before date of June 2027 are also being recalled.

Among the Gem Sesame Seeds being recalled are those with batch numbers 155, 177 and 169 and a best before of May 2027 and batch code 147 and best before April 2027.

The FSAI notes that Salmonella symptoms typically develop between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but can range between 6 and 72 hours.

The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and usually doesn’t require hospital treatment.

If diarrhoea cases are severe enough, they can require hospital admission.

Elderly people; infants and those with impaired immune systems are most likely to have the worst cases of the infection.
