More than 150 chicken products sold in shops and supermarkets across the country have been recalled over fears they may be contaminated with salmonella.
On Tuesday (May 12), the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) confirmed recalls for various batches of chicken products produced by Manor Farm and Western Brand due to the possible presence of salmonella.
As a result, both companies are recalling certain chicken products sold in the country’s main supermarkets, including Aldi, Tesco, Lidl, Dunnes Stores, Centra and SuperValu.
On Thursday, the FSAI issued an update announcing that Western Brand was recalling a further 101 batches of chicken products, including chicken breasts, fillets, flavoured chicken, thighs, drumsticks and wings and Rotisserie chickens.
The affected products carried different batch codes and had use-by dates ranging from May 5 to May 14. Some recalled chicken batches had added flavours and their packs differed in size.

All of the items are being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella. According to the FSAI, 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.
The FSAI said that although some of the implicated batches are past their use by date, the products are suitable for home freezing.
Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the implicated batches. They are also urged not to eat the implicated batches.

Wholesalers / distributors have been requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to retailer customers.
