'Do not eat' - Popular chocolate sold across Ireland recalled amid salmonella fears
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has alerted consumers across Ireland to a recall that is currently underway amid salmonella fears.
Batches of Alyan Dubai Style Crunchy Knafeh and Pistachio Milk Chocolate are being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella.
Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
Nature Of Danger:
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody.
Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
Action Required:
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
