The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued recall notices to a number of products on various grounds. Some of them are being recalled for not printing proper use by date and others for using pesticides and presence of salmonella in them. Read about the affected products in detail below.

- Al-Burj Tahini Halva with Pistachios is being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella. Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch.
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 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 4 to 7 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. Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.

- Certain batches of B&K Filety Z Makreli, Szport (sprats) and Śledź (herring) are being recalled due to the presence of the unauthorised pesticide ethylene oxide in a batch of the food additive locust bean gum (E410) used in its production. Locust bean gum (E410) is an approved food additive in the EU. Ethylene oxide is a pesticide that is not permitted for use in foods sold in the EU but is approved for use by other countries outside the EU. The consumption of foods containing ethylene oxide does not pose an acute risk to health, but there is an increased health risk if foods contaminated with ethylene oxide are consumed over a long period of time.
- Batches of Marks & Spencer Sticky BBQ Wings and Chinese Style Wings are being recalled due to the presence of soya in a small number of incorrectly labelled packs. This may make the implicated batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of soya or its constituents.
