The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today advised that a product recall is being carried out on all batches of Sokolów Home Black Pudding Sausage and Grill Black Pudding Sausage, due to the detection of high levels of Listeria monocytogenes which presents a risk to consumers’ health. The FSAI is advising consumers to check if they have purchased these products and if they have, not to eat them, but to return them to the point of purchase.
The products are from Poland, where ongoing investigations are being carried out by the Polish authorities to establish the source of the contamination. Production has stopped to allow a full clean-up of the production plant. The product was distributed to two wholesalers in Ireland who are removing the products from sale.
Listeria infection is very serious and can be life threatening. Specific segments of the population would be deemed to be of particular risk including pregnant women, elderly people and people with impaired immune functions.
Consumers with concerns or queries regarding the affected product can contact the FSAI Advice Line on 1890 336677.
