Various branded turkey and ham dinners are being recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) due to the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes.

The products are produced by Ballymaguire Foods, and include products called: Centra Turkey & Ham Dinner; Supervalu Turkey & Ham Dinner; and Good Food Locally Sourced Turkey & Ham Dinner.

Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale. The recall effects all pack sizes, all batch codes and all use-by-dates of the effected products.

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.

Retailers are requested to remove the implicated turkey and ham dinners from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

Wholesalers and distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated turkey and ham dinners and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.

Caterers should not use the implicated turkey and ham dinners.

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated turkey and ham dinners.

Separately, the FSAI issued a total of 10 enforcement orders on food businesses in June for breaches of food safety legislation.

The enforcement orders were issued by environmental health officers in the Health Service Executive (HSE).

Among the reasons for the enforcement orders being served were a significant number of rodent droppings discovered in a kitchen and in a staff canteen.

An enforcement order was also served when large quantities of cooked and raw high-risk foods were found to be stored at incorrect temperatures.
