CONSUMERS across Ireland should be aware of six recall alerts issued for major brands across the country’s most popular stores.
The recall notices impact shoppers in Dunnes Stores, SuperValu, Aldi and Tesco.
And they cover a range of savory, sweet and medical products dating right back to the start of the month.
The first recall alert was issued for the The Happy Pear Lovely Basil Pesto on June 2, 2025.
The popular Irish brand is sold in SuperValu and Centra stores across the country.
The alert was issued for pack size 135g with a batch code of 5149 and use by date 10/07/2025.
This is due to the presence of bacteria Listeria monocytogenes that can cause flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned: “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 is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.”
Shoppers are advised not to consume the product.
The second alert issued this month was on June 4 for Builin Blasta dressings.
The product is sold in Dunnes Stores, SuperValu and Tesco in Ireland.
The following products were part of an alert over the presence of Lactic Acid that may cause spoilage.
- Builín Blasta Red Onion & Tomato Relish 220g 844, 942 and 1009 11/10/2025, 30/01/2026 and 09/04/2026

Consumers should not eat the impacted batches and retailers should pull the items from shelves.
On June 12 a recall alert was issued for Weleda Baby Teething Powder.
The Weleda brand is sold in multiple stores across the country, including Tesco.
GLASS PRESENCE FEARS
The alert warned there were fears over the possible presence of glass pieces.
The pack size is 60g while the batch Code is 231302 and expiry date: 11/26.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned: “Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
“Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers.
“Consumers are advised not to administer the implicated batch to infants or children.”
SWEET TREAT PULLED FROM SHELVES
Just days later on June 16 Dunnes Stores issued an alert over a mispackaged sweet treat.
The Dunnes Stores Luxury Apple Pie with a pack size of 750g, batch Code 242 and best before date: 16/06/2025 was recalled due to the possible presence of nuts.
Food safety bosses warned: “The above batch of Dunnes Stores Luxury Apple Pie is being recalled as some packs have been mispacked with Dunnes Stores Luxury Pear and Almond Pie.
“The product contains almonds which are not declared on the label.
“This may make the batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of almonds, and therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batch.”
‘BATCHES UNSAFE’
On June 18 a recall notice was issued for Aldi burger buns due to the presence of undeclared sesame seeds.
The 200g Aldi Specially Selected Sliced Brioche Burger Buns with the follow best before dates were recalled:
- 01/07/2025

- 16/07/2025
Customers with allergies to sesame seeds have been urged to avoid the impacted batches.
And on June 19 SuperValu recalled their Signature Tastes Yellowfin Tuna Steaks due to possible elevated levels of histamine.
The 240g with the following use by dates are impacted:
- 19/06/2025
- 20/06/2025
- 21/06/2025

The Food Safety Authority explained: “As a precautionary measure, SuperValu is recalling the above batches of its Signature Tastes Yellowfin Tuna Steaks due to possible elevated levels of Histamine.
“Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale in SuperValu stores.”
High histamine levels could cause a rash, flushing, stomach issues, headaches and even irregular heartbeats or breathing difficulties.
