Bottles of SPAR and Londis water sold across Ireland urgently recalled over safety fears

Bottles of still water sold in SPAR and Londis chains are being recalled due to fears over safety.

The public are being advised not to drink the 750ml SPAR Water Still Sport bottle and Londis' Water Still 1 litre product.

Food safety chiefs have issued the recall due to the presence of arsenic above normal levels. The chemical was detected above the prescribed legal limit.

However, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland has noted that consumption does not cause any immediate risk.

A statement said: "As a precautionary measure, BWG Foods is withdrawing a batch of SPAR Water Still Sport- 750ml and Londis Water Still - 1 litre due to the presence of arsenic above normal levels.

"Consumption of the product does not cause any immediate or on-going risk."

The retailers are being requested to remove the affected batches from sale.
