Tesco, Dunnes, and Supervalu shoppers warned as items recalled over bacteria risk
Shoppers at select Dunnes Stores, Supervalu and Tesco supermarkets are being urged to check their kitchens after a recall was issued for three separate products.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued an alert on Wednesday for specific batches of Builin Blasta dressings amid concerns over a bacteria risk. A spokesperson said: "Builin Blasta Teo is recalling the below batches of specific Builin Blasta dressings, due to the presence of lactic acid bacteria, which may cause spoilage."
The recall affects certain batches of its Red Onion and Tomato Relish (220g), Caesar Dressing (245g) and Smoked Onion Salsa (340g). The affected products carry these specific batch numbers and use-by dates:
Builin Blasta Red Onion & Tomato Relish
Pack size: 220g
Batch numbers: 844, 942, 1009
Use-by dates: 11/10/2025, 30/01/2026, 09/04/2026
Builin Blasta Caesar Dressing
Pack size: 245g
Batch numbers: 831, 973
Use-by dates: 02/07/2025, 16/12/2025
Builin Blasta Smoked Onion Salsa
Pack size: 340g
Batch numbers: 963, 982, 986, 1022
Use-by dates: 18/02/2026, 13/03/2026, 19/03/2026, 24/04/2026

Lactic acid bacteria are naturally occurring microorganisms that can lead to food spoilage, resulting in changes to taste, texture and appearance. While generally not harmful to health, their presence means these dressings may no longer be safe or enjoyable to consume.
Only certain Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Supervalu and independent stores stock these items, so shoppers are advised to check Builin Blasta's suppliers list online here and look out for point-of-sale notices in stores. Retailers have been instructed to remove the affected batches from sale immediately. Consumers who have purchased any of the implicated batches are strongly advised not to eat them and to return them for a refund.
The FSAI added: "Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers. Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches."
