Food Safety Authority of Ireland has said the implicated batches were distributed to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Some potted coriander plants and a hummus product have been recalled in Northern Ireland due to the possible presence of listeria.
The affected batches of potted coriander products were supplied by O'Hanlon Herbs to a number of major supermarkets including Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Aldi, Lidl, Marks & Spencer and Supervalu.
A 150g batch of Tom & Ollie traditional hummus has also been recalled.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has said the implicated batches were distributed to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Food Safety Authority of Ireland
The Irish watchdog has requested for retailers to remove the affected batches from the shop floor
The Irish watchdog has requested retailers remove the affected batches from the shop floor and display recall notices at pay points.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products have been advised to not eat them.
The FSAI said there is currently "no evidence" the recalled hummus product is connected to the previous recall of spinach and mixed leaves or the ready meals recall, which was linked to one death and nine listeriosis cases.
Last week spinach and mixed leaves products produced by McCormack Family Farms, who supply to Lidl stores, Dunnes Stores and Musgrave Ltd in Northern Ireland, were recalled as a precaution following the detection of listeria in the Republic of Ireland. What is listeria?
Listeria infection is an illness caused by bacteria that can spread through food.
Another name for the illness is listeriosis.
It can be very serious for pregnant women, babies, people over the age of 65, and those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
In rare cases, the infection can become more severe, leading to serious complications.
The incubation period (the time between initial infection and the first appearance of symptoms) averages about three weeks, but can range from three to 70 days.

Urgent recall over pasta salad
Published: | Updated: Impacted products have a sell-by date of August 20. Shoppers who bought the product can return the pasta dish to the grocer for a refund. No injuries or sickness have been reported from the mislabeled product. Consumers with wheat intolerance can experience a wide range of digestive issues if they accidentally consume the product, including stomach pain, difficulty with bowel movements, and skin rashes. Hans Kissle didn't immediately respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment. The federal Food Safety Service says shoppers who have accidentally brought home improperly labeled food should wash all utensils, surfaces, and refrigerators that have come into contact with the recalled food. Hans Kissle's mischaracterized pasta salad joins a list of other grocery products that are under urgent recall. Last week, Ada Valley Meat Company recalled 1,065 pounds of frozen ground beef after discovering foreign materials in the product mix. The beef was shipped to restaurants in California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. No injuries have been reported. On Monday, the FDA escalated its warning on Bunge North America's on-Hydrogenated European Style Butter Blend. The dairy product is also facing a labeling issue, as it doesn't tell allergic Americans about its use of milk.
