Health food supplement sold online recalled due to presence of Salmonella
A popular health food supplement sold online is being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland warned consumers that all batches and best before dates of Orgenism Eggshell Membrane Capsules that are sold on Amazon are being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella.
Eggshell membrane capsules are health food supplements made from the thin layer found between the eggshell and egg white that reduce joint pain and stiffness and improve joint flexibility.
The FSAI has now issued a recall for Orgenism Eggshell Membrane Capsules; pack size: 60 capsules, 500 mg per serving with all batch codes and all best before dates due to the presence of Salmonella.
People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six and 72 hours.
The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps.
The illness usually lasts four to seven days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
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.
Caterers should not use the implicated batches and consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.

Coroner warns of danger of recreational helium use after man's tragic death
A coroner has warned of the dangers of helium for recreational use after hearing how a 32-year-old factory worker was found dead last December in a house he shared with his parents in Ballyhaunis, Co. Mayo. The inquest into the death of Stefan Danicic, a Croatian national, was conducted in Ballina Courthouse by the Coroner for the District of Mayo, Dr. Eleanor Fitzgerald. The deceased's father, Karim, in a deposition to Gardaí read to the inquest, said his wife (Snezana) screamed after discovering their son lying dead on the floor of his bedroom at St. Gerard's Court, Ballyhaunis, on December 13 last. An empty canister of helium was found in the bed beside the body. There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, Garda David Brandley outlined in a statement which was read into evidence at the hearing. Medical evidence was given to the inquest that Mr. Danicic died from asphyxiation due to helium inhalation. After hearing all the evidence, Coroner Fitzgerald said it was the first such case she had come across in her time as a coroner. 'Helium is very toxic,' the coroner stated. 'There is a lack of awareness as to how dangerous it is. It is very easy to obtain. It displaces oxygen from the airways leading to asphyxia.' The coroner said that death from helium use can be more instant than for alcohol or other drugs. She recorded a verdict of misadventure.

Calls to strictly regulate nitrous oxide as report shows how easy it is to buy online
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Calls to strictly regulate nitrous oxide have been made after it was revealed that it is readily available to minors online in Ireland. Dublin TD Mark Ward is calling for the "laughing gas" to be strictly regulated in Ireland due to the online sale of it alongside balloons on sites such as Amazon and Adverts. There are even recommendations on the sites that they are frequently bought together. A report by The Journal showed that there have been several deaths in Europe - including Ireland - due to misuse of nitrous oxide. As previously reported by Dublin Live, a 16-year-old boy lost the feeling in his limbs and became unable to walk after using the drug for four years. Sinn Fein TD Ward said: 'What is most shocking is that on the Amazon website, it recommended the purchase of balloons as 'frequently bought together' with nitrous oxide canisters. I have been raising the need to regulate the sale of nitrous oxide for a long time and I have produced legislation that would do just that. 'Nitrous oxide does have medical and catering uses which is why my bill would restrict its sale just to those industries that have legitimate use of the product. This would help prevent the misuse of the substance, particularly by minors. We have seen nitrous oxide being targeted to young people with its advertising and flavours. 'We know that there are health effects, both physical and mental, that can be caused by the misuse of the nitrous oxide. We have heard of people presenting with frostbite and neurological damage to medical professionals, following the use of nitrous oxide. The Journal have also attributed several deaths in Europe, including Ireland to the misuse of Nitrous Oxide. 'This requires action and the fact that is so readily available online should highlight the urgency to regulate its sale. I am calling on the government to take action on this. If they won't my bill is ready to go to regulate the sale of nitrous oxide.' Join our Dublin Live breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link to receive your daily dose of Dublin Live content.
