A notice on the FSAI website states: "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.
"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."
Gillot cru Petit Camembert.
A batch of Gillot cru Petit Camembert (150g) is being withdrawn due to potential contamination with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). The implicated products carry the best before date of August 26, 2025.
The FSAI website stated: "Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), also known as verocytotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC), are a specific group of E. coli. While most E. coli are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy humans, STEC produce a powerful toxin which can cause severe illness.
"Symptoms include abdominal cramps and diarrhoea which is sometimes bloody. Usually there is little or no fever, and patients recover within 5 to 10 days. In some people however, particularly children under 5 years of age and the elderly, the infection can cause a complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), in which the red blood cells are destroyed and the kidneys can stop working properly.
"The time between the initial infection and the first symptoms appearing is typically between 3 and 4 days but can range between 1 and 8 days."
**Braemoor Red Hen Ham and Cheese Chicken Kievs**.
Glenhaven Foods is withdrawing a batch of Braemoor Red Hen Ham and Cheese Chicken Kievs (500g) following the discovery of Salmonella contamination.
The affected products bear the batch code 25190B and the best-before date of October 2026. The FSAI issued a stark warning: "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."
Food Allergen Alert.
Dunnes Stores Gluten Free Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli.
Gluten was detected in a batch of Dunnes Stores gluten-free Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli with the pack size of 250g and the use by date September 13, 2025.
The FSAI website stated: "The product is labelled as gluten free and cereals containing gluten are not declared on the list of ingredients. This may make the batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of gluten and therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batch. The affected batch is being recalled by Dunnes Stores."
