Retailers who stock the impacted products will have point of sale notices posted in their stores and provide shoppers with refunds for returning any affected batches.
Below are all of the current recall notices in effect for several Irish shops:
Get Fresh at Home Petits Pains
A batch of Get Fresh at Home Petits Pains is being recalled due to possible metal contamination.
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch: Best before date: 07/08/2022
Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton Noodles
A batch of Lucky Me! Instant Pancit Canton Noodles Hot Chili Flavour is being recalled due to the presence of the unauthorised pesticide ethylene oxide. This pesticide is not authorised for use in foods sold in the EU.
Although the consumption of the contaminated product does not pose an acute risk to health, there may be health issues if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide over a long period of time. Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised.
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch: Best before date: 27/07/2022
Afroase Biteku Leaves
Some batches of Afroase Biteku Leaves are being recalled due to the presence of the pesticide chlorpyrifos-ethyl which is no longer approved for food use in the EU.
Although the consumption of the implicated batches of Afroase Biteku Leaves is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to health, continuous consumption of chlorpyrifos-ethyl over a long period of time may pose a potential risk to health. Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised.
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batches: 2104120146, 2107190129, 2108170055 and 2110140053; best before date: 31/12/2024
