The Food Standards Agency (<\/em>FSA<\/em><\/strong>)<\/em> has issued multiple recall notices covering products ranging from cheese and wraps to crisps, chocolate and frozen desserts. According to the FSA, consumers who have purchased affected products should follow the instructions provided by manufacturers and retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheese, Wraps and Seeds Recalled Over Contamination Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Northern Ireland, Macroom Buffalo Cheese Products<\/em> is recalling Macroom Buffalo Cheese <\/em>Mozzarella<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>and Macroom Buffalo Cheese <\/em>Bocconcini<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>after Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> was found in the products. The affected items are the 125g mozzarella and 160g bocconcini packs, both with a use-by date of 7 September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the FSA<\/a>, symptoms linked to Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> can include a high temperature, muscle aches, chills, sickness and diarrhoea. In some cases, infections can lead to serious complications, including meningitis<\/strong>. The agency said older people, pregnant women, babies under one month old and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recall advice states that customers who have bought the affected cheese should not eat it and should return it to the retailer for a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate recall<\/a> affects several filled wraps produced by Summit Foods<\/em>. The products include Snacksters Chicken Fajita Wrap<\/em>, Snacksters Hoi Sin Wrap<\/em>, East Street Deli Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap<\/em> and Target a Snack Chicken Fajita Wrap<\/em>. All use-by dates up to and including 5 September 2026 are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the FSA, the wraps may contain Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)<\/em>. The bacteria can cause severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain and, in some cases, haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a condition that can lead to kidney failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FSA has also issued a recall for Rapunzel bioSnacky Das Original Red Clover Seeds for Sprouts and Seedlings<\/em> from A.Vogel Ltd<\/em>. The affected 30g packs<\/a> have batch code 11293 and a best-before date of December 2028. The product was recalled because STEC<\/em> was found in the seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
