An urgent recall has been issued <\/a>for several batches of Irish quail eggs after salmonella was detected.<\/p>\n

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland<\/a> (FSAI) has issued a “do not eat” warning for specific batches of Quail.ie Always Fresh 20 Quail Eggs.<\/p>\n

Quail.ie’s websites states that it supplies quail eggs to “shops and butchers in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and beyond”.<\/p>\n

The recall was triggered due to the presence of salmonella, a bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness <\/a>and, in some cases, serious complications.<\/p>\n

Retailers have been instructed to immediately remove the affected batches from shelves and display notices at their point of sale.<\/p>\n

The FSAI <\/a>said: “The below batches of Quail.ie Always Fresh 20 Quail Eggs are being recalled due to the presence of salmonella<\/a>. People infected with salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six and 72 hours.<\/p>\n

“The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps.<\/p>\n

“The illness usually lasts four to seven 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.”<\/p>\n
