A BATCH OF chia seeds sold in Aldi has been recalled due to the possible presence of salmonella.
The product affected is The Foodie Market Milled Chia Seeds in a 200g pack size, with a best before date of the end of February 2027.
The implicated batch is being removed from sale, and recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale in Aldi stores to inform customers, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has said.
The FSAI also advised consumers not to eat the implicated batch.
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 elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
