In a message on the Food Safety Authority of Ireland's website, they said: "Aldi is recalling the above batch of The Foodie Market Milled Brown Flaxseed due to detection of Salmonella Typhimurium. Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in Aldi stores supplied with the implicated batch."
"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," the notice read.
"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 more severe illness."
Infants, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems are at particular risk. Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.
