The Food Safety Authority (FSAI) has said it is recalling a batch of Hogan’s Farm Turkey Burgers due to “the possible presence of salmonella”.
The affected batch has a use by date of 26 July and although the product is passed its use by date, the FSAI said the possibility remains that people may have frozen the burgers.
It advised consumers who purchased the food to check their freezers in the event they purchased the impacted batch and do not eat it.
The FSAI said the batch under a recall notice is the 400g pack of Hogan’s Farm Turkey Burgers, with the approval number IE 827 EC.
Symptoms associated with salmonella typically develop 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 contain blood, alongside other signs such as fever, headache and abdominal cramps.
The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness, which on occasion can require hospital admission.
Recall notices will be displayed at point of sale.
