The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the advisory about a batch of Utskho Suneli.

The product identification is Utskho Suneli in a pack size of 50g with the best before date of September 20, 2026.

A spokesperson for the FSAI said: “The above batch of Utskho Suneli spice mix is being recalled due to the presence of elevated levels of ethylene oxide.

“Although the consumption of the contaminated batch does not pose an acute risk to health, there may be health issues if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide over a long period of time.

“Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.”

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

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.

Ethylene oxide is a gaseous substance with a range of potential applications, mostly stemming from its highly reactive nature.

And it has been historically used in the food industry as a fumigant because of its capability to disinfect without using heat treatment.

But Safefood said its use has been discontinued in much of the world due its “highly toxic nature.”

They added: “Ethylene oxide is classed as a germ cell mutagen, a carcinogen and a reproductive toxin.”

“The EU set out its maximum residue levels (MRLs) for ethylene oxide in a range of foods and products in regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and its subsequent amendments. 

“These levels vary from 0.02mg/kg to 0.1mg/kg, depending on the nature of the product.”

Separately, a popular SuperValu dinner staple is being recalled due to health fears – as customers are warned “do not eat”.

SuperValu Signature Tastes Yellowfin Tuna Steaks are being recalled in stores across the country.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the advisory about a batch of SuperValu Signature Tastes Yellowfin Tuna Steaks.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE

SuperValu pulled the food item as a precautionary measure due to “possible elevated levels of Histamine.”

The product identification is SuperValu Line Caught Signature Tastes Yellowfin Tuna Steaks; pack size 240g with use by dates of 19/06/2025, 20/06/2025, 21/06/2025, 23/06/2025, 24/06/2025 and 25/06/2025.

Recall notices have been displayed in all SuperValu stores across the country.

A spokesperson for the FSAI said: “As a precautionary measure, SuperValu is recalling the above batches of its Signature Tastes Yellowfin Tuna Steaks due to possible elevated levels of Histamine. 

“Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

“Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.”

TYSON FURY could walk straight into a shock world title fight if he reverses his latest retirement.

The Wythenshawe warrior hung up his gloves for a FIFTH TIME following his second straight loss to Oleksandr Usyk last December but has flirted with a ring return in recent months.

WBC bigwig Mauricio Sulaiman is willing to give The Gypsy King a crack at their prestigious belt should he reverse his retirement[/caption]

And WBC supremo Mauricio Sulaiman is willing to give The Gypsy King an immediate crack at their prestigious green belt should he decide to lace his gloves up again.

The president of the Mexican sanctioning body told The Action Network: “Tyson is so special.

“And when I talk to him, he is still upset about the Oleksandr Usyk fight because he believes he won the rematch.

“But he is happily retired and enjoying his life. That’s the perfect scenario for a fighter to make money.

“To have a beautiful family and if he stays retired, that’s a great success story.

“If Tyson decides to come back to boxing, he always has a door open with the WBC.

“He will always be number one so absolutely (we will give him a world title shot if he returns) because he is top of the top.

“He carried boxing through the dark times of the pandemic.

“And Tyson is the one who elevated the sport and he’s the one who got Saudi Arabia to look into boxing.

“Spencer Brown is a tremendous influence, a great manager and now he’s managing and promoting fighters.

“It’s a great team so it’s a win-win (for everyone), and my love and my gold heart goes to Tyson Fury and his team.”

If Fury does unretire and Sulaiman sticks to his word, a trilogy fight with Usyk or a domestic dust-up with Daniel Dubois could be on the cards for the fan favourite.

The pair will renew their rivalry next month for all the heavyweight marbles in front of a packed crowd at Wembley.

A long-overdue Battle of Britain with fellow former two-time heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua also awaits Fury, who is currently filming the second season of his hit Netflix show. ‘At Home with the Furys’.

A BIG Brother fan-favourite is set to be ordained as a deacon as he continues on the journey of a huge career change.

The 2006 show star has opted for life as a man of the cloth almost 20 years after finding fame on the reality TV series.

At a service at St Asaph Cathedral, in north Wales, on Saturday June 28 he will be formally recognised and commissioned as a deacon[/caption]

Glyn Wise, 37, who previously told how he “prayed my way onto Big Brother”, is now in the midst of training to be a priest himself – a mission he started five years ago.

At a service at St Asaph Cathedral, in north Wales, on Saturday June 28 he will be formally recognised and commissioned.

After the ceremony Glyn, who finished runner-up in his Big Brother experience, will be empowered by the church to serve in a ministry of service, liturgy and proclamation of God’s word.

The work of a deacon focusses on spreading and serving the Church in poor and marginalised communities.

Glyn’s next stage of training will see him based in the Aled Mission Area around Old Colwyn and Betws yn Rhos, according to the diocese of St Asaph.

He has already completed a 770km pilgrimage to the iconic Santiago de Compostela in Spain, believed to be the burial site of the apostle St James, as part of his faith journey.

DIVINE INTERVENTION

Glyn previously spoke out about his work at a church in Camden, London.

And recently, he told how he prayed for a spot on the reality TV series which saw him rocket to fame.

Speaking on This Morning in 2022 about how faith has always been a huge part of his life, Glyn said: “I grew up in a religious family and I prayed my way onto Big Brother.

“I was asking God can you please just get me into Big Brother.

“I was 16 thinking there must be so much more to life, life is so predestined, school then university and I wanted something so different for me.

“Big Brother was what I wanted and it changed everything.”

Previously, he told how he counts Hollywood actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds as one of the congregation at his local church in North Wales.

TOUGH TRAINING

After dropping out of the limelight, Glyn went on to have a normal life, heading to university two years after Big Brother before becoming a teacher.

Glyn then decided to go travelling and ended up working in Shanghai, China, where he “got rid of the Glyn from Big Brother tag”.

With Christianity growing at a massive scale across Asia, Glyn, always a Christian, embraced his faith and decided to train as a vicar once he got home in 2020.

He previously opened up on what his course entailed and said: “I’m learning theology, going into depth about the Bible and learning how to cope with people, because you’re not only the vicar, you’re someone to listen, you’re a psychiatrist, you have to help sort people’s lives out and spread the good word.

“So there’s a concoction of stuff that you need to learn before you become a vicar.”

Despite sporting a very different look now, Glyn says he still gets Big Brother fans coming up to him in church — and he will often weave his past into his sermons.

He says: “I’ve got a beard now, I’ve shaved my head, I’m a man not a boy, but yeah, there’s conversations about Big Brother that still come up. People come to church and are like, ‘I really loved you when you cooked that egg’.

“And I’m like, ‘Can we talk about Jesus Christ now, the Saviour?’.

“But I feel like when you’ve lived a good life, you’ve got a lot to talk about when you’re up in the pulpit doing a sermon.”

MARC GUEHI is prepared to turn down joining Arsenal this summer which has put Liverpool on high alert to swoop.

The Crystal Palace and England defender wants regular first-team football and assurances from boss Mikel Arteta that he will get it in the North London team.

But William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes would almost certainly start ahead of the 24-year-old if he was to move there.

With Liverpool selling Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen the club are on the lookout for a centre-back and sources say they are eyeing Guehi.

The defender does not want to be sitting on the bench with the World Cup coming up next summer and Liverpool could be the perfect fit.

Arsenal have just tied Gabriel down to a new contract running until 2029, while the Gunners top brass are also keen to extend Saliba’s stay at the Emirates.

The pair, who have formed the crux of the best defence in the league for two seasons, are seen as part of the long-term future at Arsenal and would likely be preferred as starters over Guehi.

Guehi featured 44 times for Crystal Palace last season, scoring three times helping the Eagles to earn a record Premier League points tally and lift the FA Cup.

While he has become a regular for the England national team in recent seasons, racking up 23 caps and standing out as one of the Three Lions’ top performers at Euro 2024.

Arsenal missed out on the signing of Dean Huijsen already this summer after the 20-year-old centre-back chose a switch to Real Madrid over joining Arteta’s ranks.

The Gunners remain focused on signings elsewhere in their squad too.

Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is already in London to finalise his Prem switch.

While the search for a striker continues with both Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko still of interest to the Gunners hierarchy.

Meanwhile 18-year-old rising star Myles Lewis-Skelly is reportedly on the brink of putting pen to paper on a new long-term deal to seal his future with the club too.

THE funeral of Peter Byrne who tragically drowned while swimming in the River Barrow will take place this weekend.

The 17-year-old got into difficulty in the water at Cloghristick, Milford, Co Carlow at about 6.30pm on Tuesday last.

SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECT

Peter is believed to have been swimming with friends when he got into difficulty in the river in the Milford area of the county – around eight kilometres from Carlow town.

The teen, who had just finished Transition Year in the local CBS secondary school, and his pals were at a local gym earlier in the evening.

It’s believed that they then decided to go swimming.

And Peter’s friend saw him get into difficulty in the water and tried to help him.

The emergency services, including the ambulance, fire brigade and Garda Water Unit, were called to the scene.

But sadly his body was recovered at about 11.30pm.

His remains will be reposing in his home in Carlow town from 1pm this Sunday, followed by prayers at 8pm that evening.

Peter’s funeral mass will take place on Monday, June 23, at 10am at The Cathedral of the Assumption, followed by burial at St Mary’s Cemetery.

The tragic teenager was a player for New Oak FC over the last number of years.

And heartfelt tributes have been paid to the young player on social media by family, friends and local community.

New Oak FC wrote on Facebook: “It is with a very heavy and broken heart that we share the devastating news of the passing of our much beloved youths player Peter Byrne who tragically passed away this week.

“Peter was a pocket rocket in the team over the last number of years.

“Small in stature but big in personality. He was a huge character with a touch of Roy Keane about him, not afraid of anything or anyone.”

A notice from RIP.ie said: “He will be sadly missed by his loving parents, step-father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nephews, nieces, extended family, relatives and friends.”

Paying tribute, one local said: “Rest easy Peter, it’s all going to be so different without you. I hope you have the best bed up there.”

‘KINDEST SOUL’

Someone else wrote: “Rest in peace Peter, you have always been so sound to me from play school to primary.

“And even when I’d see you in the vault playing pool going to the vault and not seeing you there with your friends is truly heartbreaking.

“You were the nicest chap ever, rest in peace Peter and look over your friends and family.”

A heartbroken friend added: “Peter was genuinely the kindest soul who would always manage to brighten anyone’s day with a simple hello.

“His ability to make everyone laugh and smile was truly precious.

“And everyone will always remember him for this.

“And of course for his cheeky smile, that will be engraved in everyone’s memory until we meet again,you are a true legend.

“The brightest smile in the town to the brightest star in the sky. I’ll miss you so much Peter.”

They first tied the knot in 2023 in an understated ceremony, but finally got to have their “dream wedding.”

“Our Dream wedding finally happened,” they posted to Instagram alongside two photos from their outdoor ceremony.

“Best day of our lives. Surrounded by so much love. Can not wait to get all of our pictures & videos back to show you how incredible it was & you’ll be able to watch it all.”

Georgia looked stunning in an embellished white gown complete with a thigh-high split and which she paired with a strappy pair of silver stilletos.

Tommy opted for a sand coloured suit and open white shirt for his big days.

They married at an opulent Spanish villa and said ‘I do’ under a canopy of red flowers.

The couple’s two children, Brody, four, and Gigi, seven months were in attendance as were plenty of their Towie friends.

Some of the other reality stars to be at their nuptials included, Chloe Ross, Sam Mucklow and Danielle Armstrong.

Their friends gushed over the stunning ceremony in the comments section of Georgia’s Instagram post.

“No words!! Still speechless.. everything was perfect from start to finish. Wedding of the year! You looked breathtaking. Thank you for letting us be part of the day.. love you so bloody much ROUND 2 BABY!!!!!” wrote hairdresser Amber Dowding.

Danielle Armstrong added: “Literally the best wedding EVER!!! Love you guys congratulations Round 2 later.”

Wedding planner, Johanna Lane commented: “My gorgeous friends & the best bride & groom ever What a day.”

Georgia previously opened up to The Sun about the couple’s first wedding.

ecember 2023 was a much more low-key affair and ended with a humble Chinese takeaway.

“We came back to mine and had a Chinese. It was unreal. It is so me and Tommy,” she said.

“I literally got back, got my PJs on straight away and we had a Chinese.”

She added: “The best bit about it was that we hired tables. So we had a top table…And we all just stuffed our faces with Chinese … it was actually brilliant. So good.”

A NEW ‘Ozempic pill’ leads to faster weight loss than the popular ‘skinny jabs’, studies have suggested.

The new weight loss medication, which can also be offered by injection, can help patients lose a significant amount of weight.

The new weight loss pill has seen promising results in early trials[/caption]

An early study found that patients who received amycretin as a weekly jab lost 24% of their body weight after 36 weeks of treatment.

But initial trials assessing a tablet form of the jab saw promising results with patients losing an average 13% of bodyweight in just three months.

This suggests the drug leads to greater weight loss than Wegovy, the ‘sister jab’ of Ozempic.

Such treatments have been called transformative by NHS leaders.

It’s estimated that around 1.5 million Brits currently receive weight loss jabs through specialist weight loss services or private prescriptions.

But weight pills offer a new hope to millions looking to lose weight as the injections put additional pressure on an overstretched NHS.

However, further clinical trials are needed before the treatment can be made available in the UK.

This could take several years and there’s no guarantee that regulators will approve the use of the drug.

Amycretin, made by Novo Nordisk, contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy and helps control blood sugar and appetite.

It targets specific receptors in the body – the GLP-1 and amylin receptors – helping you feel full and stops overeating.

An early trial published in The Lancet found that 125 adults taking weekly injections containing higher doses of the drug lost nearly a quarter of their body weight after 36 weeks.

It also showed signs of improving blood sugar levels.

However, there were some mild to moderate side effects including nausea and vomiting but these were resolved by the end of the treatment.

Experts said that the medicine appeared “safe and tolerable” but further studies were needed to fully assess the drug.

But a second trial, also published in The Lancet, assessed the drug in tablet form in 144 people.

Those taking the highest dose of 100mg lost 13% of their body weight over four months.

The authors wrote: “Amycretin effectively lowered body weight and improved metabolic and glycaemic parameters in people who were overweight or obese.

“Longer studies with more participants are warranted for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of amycretin in individuals living with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and to optimise the dosing regimen.”

As with the first trial, there were also some mild to moderate side effects including loss of appetite and similar gastrointestinal issues.

It comes as a separate study examined the effects of the weight-loss jab, Wegovy, at higher doses.

The researchers found that giving patients 7.2mg of Wegovy once a week led to an average weight loss of 21%, with a third of participants losing 25% of their body weight over 72 weeks.

The studies were also presented to the American Diabetes Association’s Scientific Sessions in Chicago.
