The FSAI said: "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."
The affected product has the batch code SG B6 and best before date 18/09/2022.
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch.
