Urgent food recalls issued for pasta sauce and chocolate spread

Batches of two types of Dolmio pasta sauces have been issued with an urgent allergy alert.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said the batches may contain soya that isn’t mentioned on the label, and that could make them unsafe for customers with soya allergies.

The popular range of pasta sauces are sold in thousands of stores across the country.

Certain batches of the Dolmio Carbonara Pasta Sauce pouches and Dolmio Carbonara Stir-In Pasta Sauce are impacted.

The batches are 150g in size with codes 209A9WE, 209B92WE, 213A9KLN45 and 213B9KLN45 and respective best before dates of 28.02.2023, 01.03.2023, 26.04.2023 and 27.04.2023.

 

The above batches are under the allergy alert

 

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said: “This may make the affected batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of soybeans.”

People who have purchased the Carbonara pasta sauces should take appropriate action if they have a soybean intolerance or allergy.

Meanwhile, Spar is recalling batches of its chocolate spread over allergy concerns.

The Spar Spread Up Hazelnut Choco product contains almonds which are not mentioned on the label.
This may be a health concern for customers who are allergic or intolerant to nuts.

The recall concerns products in the pack size 400g, all batches with best before end dates of June 2022, August 2022, September 2022, November 2022 and December 2022.

A warning from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland said: “SPAR is recalling the above batches of SPAR Spread Up Hazelnut Choco because it contains nuts (almonds) which are not mentioned on the label.

“This may make the affected batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of nuts (almonds).”

Meanwhile, two products have been pulled from Lidl shelves after gluten was discovered in products marked gluten-free.

The affected batch could cause major health problems for anyone with a gluten allergy who consumes the product.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the advisory about a batch of Just Free Gluten Free Puddings.

Gluten was detected in a batch of both the white and black pudding range.

The implicated batch numbers are 041-22 with use by dates of 20/05/2022.
