Tesco temporarily removed a popular water product from Irish shelves after 'bad smell' complaints.
The 500ml Slievenamon still water was removed as a precautionary measure while their supplier conducted an investigation.
A customer Hilary O'Donnell had posted on Twitter about the water product, she said: "Tesco Ireland, we are getting a bad smell from the 500ml Slievenamon still water, has there been any issues raised lately with the water?"
Another customer Gavin Johnston-Smith said: "I am having the exact same problem, bought it as part of a multipack in Tesco, really strong, bad smell."
The supplier has confirmed there is no food safety concerns with the product.
Tesco Ireland posted on Twitter in response to Hilary: "As a precautionary measure, following a small number of complaints we removed this water product from our shelves while our supplier conducted a thorough investigation.
"The supplier has confirmed that there is no food safety concerns with this product.
"There wasn’t a product recall in this incidence.
"Apologies that you were given inaccurate information re that."
It comes as Ireland took another step towards normality as all non-essential retail was allowed to resume on Monday.
Click-and-collect services and in-store shopping resumed last week as part of a phased reopening of retail but stores have not been allowed to open their doors to all customers since before New Year's Eve.
After months of uncertainty, retailers like Tesco can sell clothes again while Aldi and Lidl are both able to restock their coveted middle aisle.
A further easing of restrictions is due next month, subject to public health guidance at the time.
