Ireland
The FSAI announced the recall of all imported frozen food products of animal origin sold in Iceland Ireland stores since 3 March 2023 by Metron Stores Limited (trading as Iceland Ireland) due to inadequate evidence of traceability of these products from Metron Stores Limited (trading as Iceland Ireland). To date, there have been no reports of any illness associated with the implicated products.
There have been a number of incidents of non-compliance with import control legislation in relation to frozen foods of animal origin. Some frozen food of animal origin has been imported into Ireland without pre-notification and completion of entry declarations and health certificates since 3 March 2023.
This enforcement action is due to a number of identified breaches of food legislation and an ongoing investigation by the FSAI, the Environmental Health Service of the Health Service Executive, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority.
Foods of animal origin are any food products that contain ingredients that come from an animal, such as chicken, meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, etc. The list of the recalled products is shown in the images below.
As a precaution, the FSAI is advising consumers not to eat imported frozen food of animal origin bought from these stores since 3 March 2023.
In case you experience harm from this product, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
