A POPULAR dairy product is being recalled from Irish stores due to health fears.
Some supplies of Horgan’s cheddar products are being recalled across the country due to the possible presence of listeria.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued a recall alert, stating that one popular product had been pulled from the shelves after it was deemed unsafe.
They said that a batch of Horgans Irish Smoked Cheddar is being recalled due to “the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.”
The affected batch comes in a pack size of 150g with an approval number IE 1089 EC.
And it displays the use by date: 25/05/2025.
Dunnes Stores, SuperValu, Tesco Ireland and local supermarkets have removed the affected batches from sale and displayed recall notices at point-of-sale.
Customers are urged not to consume the products and return them to their point of purchase or dispose of them.
They can seek a replacement or a refund from their supermarket.
Consuming the affected batch may produce some symptoms of listeria, including 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.
