Eggs, crisps and ice-cream taken from Irish supermarket shelves due to ‘contamination’
Print9 August 2022
Irish supermarkets have asked customers not to eat certain food products after issuing recalls on several items.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued alerts about some products that have since been removed from shelves in Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Dunnes Stores, Spar, and SuperValu.
Any shops that stocked the impacted products will have point of sale notices posted in their store and will give shoppers refunds for returning any of the affected batches.
Shoppers have been encouraged to check their homes for the affected items.
The FSAI recalled various batches of Haagen-Dazs ice cream products due to the detection of 2-Chloroethanol, a recognised reaction product of ethylene oxide which is banned for use in foods in Europe.
The flavours included in the recall are Belgian Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Pralines and Cream, and Duo Belgian Chocolate and Strawberry Crunch.
The products were for sale in major Irish supermarkets including Tesco, Dunnes and SuperValu.
Just last month, a separate alert was issued for tubs of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla weighing 460ml and Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Collection packs of 4x95ml for the same reason.
