THE FOOD SAFETY Authority of Ireland has issued a recall notice for a batch of Dunnes Stores Irish Chicken Smoky BBQ Drumsticks due to the possible presence of Salmonella.
Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the implicated batch: 24 309; Use by: 14th Nov. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours, the FSAI warned.
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 display recall notices at point-of-sale.
