Additional Ready Meal Added to Major Listeria Recall

Additional Ready Meal Added to Major Listeria Recall

Food safety officials add another product to major Listeria contamination alert. See complete updated list of affected ready meals.

The Food Safety Authority have expanded yesterday’s major recall of Ballymaguire Foods products to include an additional ready meal, bringing the total number of affected items to over 100 across Irish supermarkets.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued Update 1 to alert 2025.34 today, adding Centra Freshly Prepared Chicken Massaman with Sticky Jasmine Rice to the extensive list of prepared meals and side dishes being recalled due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The expanded recall affects all pack sizes, batch codes and best before dates of the Thai-inspired dish, manufactured at establishment IE 4008 EC. Consumers are urged to check their freezers for this product and dispose of it immediately without consumption.

This update follows yesterday’s Category 1 recall that removed dozens of popular ready meals from Tesco, SuperValu, Centra, Aldi and other retailers nationwide. The original alert covered an extensive range including cottage pies, beef lasagnes, chicken curries, pasta bakes and various side dishes across multiple brands.

The addition of the Chicken Massaman dish demonstrates the ongoing investigation into potential contamination at the production facility. Food safety inspectors continue to trace products that may have been affected during the manufacturing process.

Listeria monocytogenes poses particular risks to vulnerable groups including pregnant women, babies, elderly people and those with compromised immune systems. While most people experience mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, the infection can cause serious complications in rare cases.

The bacteria’s lengthy incubation period means symptoms may not appear for an average of three weeks after consumption, though this can range from three to 70 days. Anyone who has consumed affected products and feels unwell should consult their GP, particularly those in high-risk categories.

Centra stores are displaying point-of-sale notices and removing the Chicken Massaman product from shelves alongside the previously recalled items. The retailer’s extensive Freshly Prepared range was heavily featured in the original recall list.

Wholesalers and distributors have been instructed to contact affected customers immediately, whilst caterers must ensure they do not use any implicated products in food preparation.

The expanding recall underscores the food safety system’s thoroughness in protecting public health, with authorities clearly prepared to widen the scope as investigations continue. Consumers should remain vigilant and check the updated product list on the FSAI website for any further additions.

The comprehensive nature of this recall, now spanning multiple major retailers and diverse cuisine types, suggests potential systemic contamination during the manufacturing process rather than isolated incidents.

Anyone requiring further information should contact their retailer or monitor the Food Safety Authority of Ireland website for ongoing updates to this developing food safety alert.
