TWO POPULAR salmon products are being recalled from Irish stores due to health fears.
Some Burren Smokehouse products are being recalled across the country due to the possible presence of listeria.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued recall alerts with two food products pulled from the shelves after they were deemed unsafe.
They said that batches of Burren Smokehouse organic hot smoked products are being recalled due to “the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes“.
The impacted products are Burren Smokehouse Smoked Irish Organic Salmon Hot Smoked Over Oak and Burren Smokehouse Organic Hot smoked over oak with honey, lemon & pepper.
The affected Burren Smokehouse Smoked Irish Organic Salmon Hot Smoked Over Oak batch numbers are 429721 and 52221.
It comes in pack sizes of 500g and 180g with use by dates of: 04/03/2025, 10/03/2025, 11/03/2025, 05/03/2025, 10/03/2025 and 11/03/2025
And the affected Burren Smokehouse Organic Hot smoked over oak with honey, lemon & pepper batch numbers are 51721 and 429121.

Dunnes Stores, Tesco Ireland and local supermarkets have removed the affected batches from sale and displayed recall notices at point-of-sale.
Customers are urged not to consume the products and return them to their point of purchase or dispose of them.
Symptoms of listeria 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 is, on average, 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days.
MAJOR RECALL ALERT
This comes after Old Irish Creamery Cheese products were recalled across the country.
The major cheese manufacturer company pulled the food item after it was deemed unsafe.
Old Creamery took the batches off the shelves due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
This is a type of bacteria that can cause a serious infection called listeriosis.
When contaminated food is consumed, especially unpasteurised dairy products, raw vegetables and ready-to-eat meats, it can lead to the illness.
The list of Old Irish Creamery Cheese issued the recall include Irish Cheddar with chives, with Red Wine, with Chili, with Cranberries, with Murphy’s Stout, with Garlic & Herbs, with Irish Porter, with Irish Whiskey, with Curry, with Pepper Cheese, with Pumpkin Seed, with Sriracha, with Caesar Salad, with Coffee and Oak Smoked.
And the product have been sold in major supermarkets across Ireland.
The food items had a use-by-date ranging from 4/04/2025 to the 20/11/2025.
