The Food Safety Authority has issued an unrgent call for a number of popular curry products.
A recall is currently in place for various Avoca products including curries and Laksa.
The products in question are being recalled due to undeclared ingredients which could be unsafe for those who are allergic.
The recall issued by the FSAI reads: "The various Avoca curry products listed in the table below contain crustaceans, which are not declared on the list of ingredients.
"This may make the affected products unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of crustaceans.
Affected batches are as follows:
- Avoca Thai Green Chicken Curry - 580g and 1450g
- Avoca Thai Green Sweet Potato and Snap Pea Curry 580g and 1500g
- Avoca Thai Red Curry- 580g and 1600g
- Avoca Spiced Black Bean, Kale and Squash Laksa- 590g and 1600g
All use by dates, up to and including 15/7/2021.
Meanwhile a separate recall has been issued for Koldùnai Gimtinès dumplings with meat due to the presence of Salmonella.
The affected batches have the best before date 13/05/2022 and pack size 1000g.
A recall notice warns: "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. 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 a severe illness.
"Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and to display a point-of-sale recall notice in stores where the affected batch was sold."
