A spokesperson said: “Specific batches of Dunnes Stores Moroccan Style Topped Houmous contains milk and egg which is not declared on the ingredients list on the affected batches.

“Therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batches.”

It comes after an urgent recall was issued for a popular €27 alcoholic spirit sold in Dunnes Stores amid fears it could be laced with glass.
Last month, the FSAI issued a “do not drink” warning for specific batches of Disaronno Originale 500 Years in limited edition bottles.
The recall was triggered after concerns that micro-fragments of glass may be present inside the bottles.
Disaronno, marketed as ‘The World’s Favourite Italian Liqueur’, is a favourite in many Irish homes, especially during the festive season.
It is widely available across Irish supermarkets and off licences, including Tesco where it is on sale for €27, and Dunnes Stores where it is currently priced at €25.
A spokesperson for Dunnes Stores advised customers not to consume the drink and to return it to any store for a full refund with no receipt needed.
They said: “We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused. Customers are advised not to consume this product, instead to return it to a Dunnes Stores store for a full refund. No receipt is required.”
