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'.

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.

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.
