A TOTAL OF 142 different ready-made meals and side dishes sold in major supermarkets across Ireland have been recalled due to the possible presence of bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes.

Some 141 items were recalled yesterday and this afternoon, another item was added to the list.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) ordered the recall of the meals, which are made and distributed by Dublin-based Ballymaguire Foods.

In the latest recall notice, Tesco Finest Creamed Spinach has been impacted due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes – all pack sizes are implicated. 

Medical professionals are currently investigating the death of an adult with confirmed listeriosis. Nine cases of listeriosis had been confirmed as of Tuesday.

Ballymaguire Foods has appointed Dr Patrick Wall, the former chief executive of the FSAI and former chair of the European Food Safety Authority, to lead its response to the situation.

“The team has a singular focus: to fully and effectively resolve this matter. It is doing so in close collaboration with the relevant public health authorities,” it said in a statement.

Production at the affected facility will only recommence once the relevant authorities are satisfied.

The company issued a sincere apology for any concern the situation may cause and said it is treating it with the “utmost seriousness”, adding that it is referring queries from the public to the relevant authorities. 

Symptoms of listeriosis can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.

The FSAI has advised consumers not to eat the implicated products.

Consumers are also advised to check their fridges and freezers for the implicated products and dispose of them or return them to the store where purchased, as directed by the retailer.

Here’s a full list of the recalled products.
