It’s time to check your fridges and pantries, as the FSAI has issued several food alerts over the week.

The food safety authority is warning customers against consuming the implicated products over fears of health issues. These food items have been sold in supermarkets across Ireland including Lidl, Dunnes, and SuperValu.

The FSAI has asked retailers to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at the point of sale. Here is a full list of food recalls and alerts from the FSAI this week:

Recalls

Café Sol Pesto Pasta & Chicken

Freshways is recalling the above batch of Café Sol Pesto Pasta & Chicken (224g) due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. This product is sold in Dunnes.

The implicated items have the use-by date of 25/09/2025. A notice on the FSAI website states: “Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection 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.

“Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days.”

Toxic Waste Sour Slushy Freeze and Squeeze

The following batches of Toxic Waste Sour Slushy Freeze and Squeeze have been recalled due to high levels of glycerol, which could cause headaches and vomiting in young children:

A warning on the FSAI website reads: “Glycerol (E 422) is an approved food additive in the European Union (EU). It is used in slush ice drinks as a substitute or partial substitute for sugar and helps maintain the slushy texture by preventing the liquid from freezing solid.

“There is no maximum level set for its use in flavoured drinks, however, according to legislation, it must be used in foods at a level not higher than is necessary, to achieve its intended purpose. Because young children have a lower body weight, if they consume large quantities of glycerol in a short period of time, it is possible that some young children may experience side effects, such as headaches, nausea and/or vomiting.”

Allergen Alerts

Healthy Fit Hazelnut Nougat Vegan Protein Bar

Customers are warned against consuming all batches of Lidl’s Healthy Fit Hazelnut Nougat Vegan Protein Bars as they do not have a label declaring the presence of canola rapeseed protein isolate. This ingredient may cause allergic reaction to consumers who are allergic to mustard and products thereof.

Bare Pantry Dark Chocolate Coated Products

A warning has been issued regarding all pack sizes of the Bare Pantry dark chocolate-coated products that may contain milk which is not declared on the label. This may make these products unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of milk and therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated products.
