An urgent recall has been issued for batches of pork mince products due to the possible presence of Salmonella. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned customers that Kepak is recalling various batches of pork mince products due to the presence of Salmonella – with recall notices to be displayed at the point of sale. The following batches have been recalled: People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six 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 four to seven 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 batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
