The FSAI said 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.
Elderly individuals, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness, the FSAI has warned.
Retailers have been requested to remove the implicated batches from point-of-sale, while consumers are advised not to eat implicated batches.
Caterers should not use the implicated batches, the FSAI added.
