The FSAI has also issued a recall notice for a batch of Tom & Ollie Traditional Hummus due to the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes.

The affected product is a 150g pack of Tom & Ollie Traditional Hummus with batch code VG189 and a use by date of 8 August.

Consumers are advised not to eat any of the implicated products.

The FSAI has requested that retailers remove the products from sale, and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

It has also requested that wholesalers contact affected customers, recall the relevant batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.

Caterers who may be in possession of the impacted products have been asked not to use them.

The FSAI said that symptoms of listeria can include mild flu-like symptoms such as gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Symptoms can be more severe in rare cases, it added.

Last week, batches of eight spinach, mixed leaves, rocket and lettuce products sold in Irish supermarkets were recalled due to the detection of listeria monocytogenes.

Two further spinach products sold in Irish supermarkets were recalled in late July with seven spinach and mixed leaves products having been recalled previously.

Over 200 ready-made meals produced by Ballymaguire Foods were also recalled last month.
