Urgent Recall: Turkey and Ham Dinners Due to Listeria Risk

URGENT UPDATE: The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has just announced a nationwide recall of turkey and ham dinners due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This harmful bacteria poses serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, cancer patients, the elderly, and young children.
The ready-made meals, produced by Ballymaguire Foods, may cause symptoms such as diarrhoea, fever, headache, and muscle pain. In high-risk individuals, the consequences can be severe and potentially fatal. The recall affects all package sizes, bar codes, and use-by dates, making it crucial for consumers to check their purchases immediately.
Retailers across the country are ordered to remove these dinners from their shelves and prominently post recall notices at point-of-sale locations. Wholesalers and distributors are urged to contact affected customers to ensure that these products are no longer in circulation. Additionally, caterers must refrain from using the implicated meals.
This urgent action comes on the heels of a previous recall last month, when the FSAI warned of similar risks associated with Ballymaguire Foods Bacon and Cabbage ready meals. These ongoing concerns highlight the critical need for vigilance in food safety practices.
Consumers are advised to dispose of any turkey and ham dinners from Ballymaguire Foods and to seek medical advice if they experience any symptoms related to Listeria. The FSAI continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as necessary.
For immediate safety, check your refrigerator now and share this information with family and friends to prevent illness. Stay tuned for further developments on this urgent matter.
