Loyd Grossman Korma Sauce has been recalled in the Irish market. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said that an implicated batch of this product which is linked to two cases of botulism in the UK had been distributed to Tesco Ireland. The FSAI is warning consumers who have purchased this specific product not to eat it.
The affected packs are Loyd Grossman Korma sauce 350gram jar with a batch code 1218R and a best before date of February 2013.
Premier Foods, the distributor, was recalling the product from retailers and liaising with the FSAI in relation to its actions. The FSAI advised that anyone who had consumed this product and felt unwell should seek medical attention immediately. Consumers who have the product at home should dispose of the product or return it to their retailer.
Prof Alan Reilly, chief executive, FSAI, said that botulism is a particularly nasty illness and can be potentially life threatening if left untreated. “It is caused by a toxin that is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. Foods contaminated with Cl. Botulinum do not look, smell or taste any different from uncontaminated foods so given the serious nature of this illness our advice to consumers is if you have bought this specific product do not to eat it,” he said.
At the time of going to print no other batches or varieties of Loyd Grossman products were thought to be affected.
