Latest food recall as 'check your freezer' warning issued amid Salmonella fears
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued an official recall of Hogan's Farm Turkey Burgers due to concerns over the possible presence of Salmonella.
The FSAI recall is focused on the 400g pack size of Hogan's Farm Turkey Burgers with the approval number IE 827 EC.
While the use by date of July 26 has since expired, it is suitable for home freezing and thus, consumers are urged to check their freezers to see if they are in possession of the implicated batch.
Recall notices will be displayed at the point of sale.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch. Salmonella symptoms
People who have been infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection.
The most common symptom of Salmonella is diarrhoea which can sometimes be bloody. This can sometimes require hospital treatment. Other symptoms include abdominal cramps, fever and headache.
The illness tends to last for between four and seven days and the immunocompromised, elderly and young children are more likely to have a severe illness.
The latest recall follows a string of recalls of food products in Ireland due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. More than 100 products were implicated in the recall as the FSAI advised consumers not to eat them as there was a risk of illness.

Irish teenagers report lowest level of ‘daily irritability', study finds
The study, based on data from over 56,000 adolescents aged 15 and 16, examined levels of irritability among young people in countries including China, Mexico and Spain. Often seen as a normal part of adolescence, experts have warned it can be linked to mental health issues, feelings of life satisfaction, and bullying. The emotion was found to be nearly universal across the nine countries studied — but its frequency varied widely. Just under 7pc of Irish teenagers reported feeling irritable every day — roughly half the rate seen in Bulgaria and the United Arab Emirates, where adolescents reported the highest levels. Around 10pc of Irish teens felt irritable more than once a week, while 36pc said they rarely or never experienced the emotion. The research team — from institutions including Yale University, University College London, and Ulster University — said the findings highlight the importance of monitoring adolescent irritability as a marker of potential mental health risks. They said that in recent years irritability has been increasingly linked to lasting negative outcomes — psychiatric, educational and social — which may persist into adulthood. The study, which also compared levels of life satisfaction, found Irish adolescents reported higher satisfaction with their lives than their peers in China and the UAE, but lower than those in Mexico and Panama. The findings are based on data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa), which surveyed 15- and 16-year-olds from Bulgaria, Georgia, China, Ireland, Mexico, Panama, Serbia, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. Adolescents were asked about experiences of bullying, their satisfaction with life, and their economic, social and cultural status. Females had higher irritability scores than males in all countries.

The FSAI has requested that retailers remove the implicated products from sale, and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Wholesalers and distributors are being asked to contact their affected customers and recall the affected products and put a recall notice in place. Caterers who may be in possession of the impacted products have been asked not to use them. Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated products. The FSAI has said there is currently "no evidence that this food recall is linked with the listeriosis outbreak related to ready-to-heat meals that is currently under investigation". The FSAI's latest update follows a recall on Monday of two further spinach products sold in Irish supermarkets with with seven spinach and mixed leaves products having been recalled previously. The authority said that one person with a confirmed case of listeria died, while nine other cases were identified as of late last month. The FSAI said that symptoms of listeria can include mild flu-like symptoms such as gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Symptoms can be more severe in rare cases, it added. "Some people are more vulnerable to listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. "The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days," said the FSAI.

Couple walk from Donegal to Leinster House to highlight devastation in Gaza
A COUPLE HAVE reached Leinster House after setting off from Donegal last Friday to highlight the devastating situation in Gaza. Dr Mireille and John Sweeney set off from their home in Ardara, Co Donegal, having felt compelled to take some form of action. Speaking to The Journal , Mireille, who is Jewish and originally from France, explained that she and her husband have been filled with horror watching the events unfold in the Gaza Strip. Mireille, a recently retired GP, has been living in Ireland since 1984. She told The Journal that both her great-grandfathers were rabbis, and her grandfather's extended family were killed in the Holocaust. Advertisement 'I just couldn't cope with the fact that what is happening in Palestine is what the Jewish suffered, and it is Israel who is causing that,' she said. She added that Israel is committing a genocide upon the people of Gaza. 'It's nothing to do about being antisemitic,' she said. 'I am Jewish – and you can't let a genocide happen.' It was John's idea on Thursday that the two should set off on the walk to the capital city the following day. 'We're not walkers,' Mireille said, 'but we just headed off and that was it.' The couple completed the walk themselves, but were often joined by others for parts of the day as they made their way across the country. They arrived in Blanchardstown yesterday and continued on this morning. They were met by a number of groups at Leinster House, including Irish Healthcare Workers for Palestine. John hopes that the couple's march to the capital will be replicated and apply pressure upon the Irish government to take further action on the humanitarian crisis within Gaza. Related Reads Gaza mother: 'My children ask for food, and I can give them nothing' Simon Harris says he will try to make a 'national day of protest over Gaza' happen 'Humanitarian city' for Palestinians would be a 'concentration camp', says former Israeli PM As a healthcare professional, Mireille expressed horror at the targeting of medical professionals and aid workers within the territory. When she spoke to The Journal this afternoon, Mireille said that the group were heading towards the French Embassy in Dublin to spread their message further. Today, in a similar fashion, former Clare All-Star hurler Tony Griffin began a 200km walk from his home in Co Kildare to his native Co Clare in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Griffin said that he is undertaking the journey over the next number of days to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
