Urgent recall issued for popular Centra product amid 'do not eat' warning
An urgent recall has been issued for a popular salmon product sold in Centra stores nationwide as shoppers have been warned not to eat the implicated batch.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland announced on Friday that a recall has been issued on a batch of Centra Hot Smoked BBQ Salmon "as it was mispacked with raw Centra salmon darnes and the label does not have cooking instructions".
The safety alert was issued after it was discovered on inspection that the packaging does not have any preparation or cooking instructions for the raw salmon. Smoked salmon is safe to eat without cooking or heating, but raw salmon is not without the appropriate preparation and freshness.
Centra shops around the country are pulling the products from shelves, and point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch.
The affected batch of 200g packs of Centra Hot Smoked BBQ Salmon has a batch code of 44911N, while the best before date is 07/06/2025 and the approval number is IE-DN 0012-EC.
"Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch," the FSAI warned.
The FSAI also announced on Friday that a batch of popular protein bars sold in Lidl is being pulled from shelves due to a labelling error.
A recall has been issued for Healthy Fit Cookies & Cream Protein Bar as the ingredients in the affected batch are not labelled in English.
The implicated batch contains milk and soya. This may make the batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of milk and soya.
The affected batch of the 60g product was sold in Lidl stores across Ireland and has a best-before date of 01-2026 and a batch code of 002851.
In a statement, a Lidl spokesperson said: "If you have purchased the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to Milk or Soy, we advise you not to consume it. Instead, please return the product to a Lidl store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
"Lidl wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Food alerts: FSAI issues recall notice for Centra salmon product
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued a recall notice for Centra hot smoked BBQ salmon due to missing cooking instructions on the label. According to the authority the recall is for the 200g pack size. The FSAI said that the batch of Centra hot smoked BBQ salmon is being recalled as 'it was mispacked with raw Centra salmon darnes and the label does not have cooking instructions'. Source: FSAI Retailers have been asked to remove the implicated batch from sale and according to the FSAI point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the particular salmon product. 'Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch,' the authority added. FSAI Separately the FSAI has launched a public consultation to gather views from consumers and food businesses in Ireland on a national food hygiene rating scheme. Food hygiene rating schemes are in operation in a number of countries and provide customers with signage that indicates the level of cleanliness and food safety standards of a food business based on official food safety inspections. The FSAI wants to hear from consumers and food businesses in Ireland about their views on the subject and have invited everyone to take part in the online consultation which will run until June, 23. Food hygiene rating schemes are currently in operation for example in Northern Ireland, England and Wales (Scores on Doors), Denmark and France (Smiley Faces), and in some US states. They typically involve the public display of food safety inspection results as a number, letter or symbol on the food business's window and/or website, aiming to increase transparency in the food chain, support consumer decision making and promote higher standards of hygiene across the food sector. According to the FSAI this helps customers make informed choices about where they eat and purchase food from while encouraging businesses to maintain high food safety standards.

Customers who have bought the bars and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or soya are advised not to eat them. Instead, they should return the product to the store where it was bought for a full refund, with or without a receipt. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item More to follow...
