| Product: | Iceland Cook from Frozen Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts in Blankets; pack size: 410g; approval number: PL 22040305 WE |

| Country Of Origin: | Poland |
The above batch of Iceland Cook from Frozen Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts in Blankets is being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella.
Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
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 illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point of sale.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch. If the chicken has already been consumed, cooking should remove the risk. Raw chicken should always be handled hygienically when defrosting and preparing it, and also cooked thoroughly before eating it.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today advises that a precautionary extended food recall is underway by Western Brand of a number of specific raw chicken products due to the possible presence of Salmonella. This recall is linked to the ongoing investigation by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine into incidences of Salmonella infection in a number of broiler flocks. To date, there have been no confirmed cases of human illness linked to this investigation. The FSAI is warning consumers who may have the affected chicken products at home not to eat them.
The products being recalled are listed in the food alert.
Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI has warned consumers not to eat the affected chicken products.
“If anyone has any of the affected chicken product at home, we are advising them not to eat it. To date, there have been no confirmed cases of human illness linked to this investigation. Just as a reminder to consumers, raw chicken should always be handled hygienically to prevent cross contamination with ready-to-eat food and raw chicken should never be washed. Always wash your hands after handling it and always wash any utensils you’ve used to prepare it. Raw chicken should always be cooked thoroughly before eating it.”
The FSAI is liaising with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in its ongoing investigation into broiler flocks and additional testing continues.

A large salmonella outbreak on eight poultry farms around the country has resulted in more than 7,000 birds having to be culled to ensure potentially-infected chicken products do not enter the food chain.
Due to the risk to human health from the bacteria, restrictions have been applied in the vicinity of the farms, most of which are in Co Cavan.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is working with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) in an effort to curb the outbreak and to determine its cause.
The FSAI has confirmed that incidences of salmonella infection in broiler flocks were linked to a raw-chicken food recall it issued last week, when some poultry products were removed from supermarket shelves.

The above batch of Anitca Macelleria Falorni il Salame Con Cinghiale wild boar salami is being recalled due to the presence of Shiga toxin producing E. coli.

Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) also known as Verocytotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) may cause severe bloody diarrhoea and abdominal cramps, although sometimes the infection causes non-bloody diarrhoea or no symptoms. In some groups, particularly children under 5 years of age and the elderly, the infection can also cause a complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), in which the red blood cells are destroyed and the kidneys fail.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point of sale.
Caterers should not use the implicated batch.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.
