THE FOOD SAFETY Authority has recalled turkey and ham dinners sold by a number of supermarkets around the country due to the possible presence of a harmful bacteria.
The ready-made meals, which are produced by the company Ballymaguire Foods, may contain Listeria monocytogenes.
The pathogenic bacteria, according to the FSAI, can cause diarrhoea, fever, headache and myalgia (muscle pain).
In cases where the affected person is already at risk, such as pregnant women, cancer patients, AIDS patients, the elderly and the very young, the disease cause by the bacteria can be more severe, and even fatal.

The products covered by this recall are:
Centra Turkey & Ham Dinner

It added following the closure of the facility, its 'internal team, supported by independent external experts, conducted a comprehensive assessment and implemented immediate corrective actions'. This included a full pharmaceutical-grade clean down of the facility. "We sincerely apologise to our customers and consumers for the concern this may cause.'
