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 (Image: FSAI) 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." Join our Dublin Live breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link to receive your daily dose of Dublin Live content.
