Meat producer recalls its sausages in Ireland over Salmonella contamination fears

Irish meat producer Newbridge Meats is recalling a batch of sausage products due to a possible risk of Salmonella contamination.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said that the measure of recalling is precautionary. The authorities have reported that the presence of Salmonella was detected in sausage products with batch code S033018.

Some of the products include Fresh Sausage Meat (1lb packets), Fresh Sausage Size 16, Fresh Pork & Leek Sausage, Fresh Cocktail Sausage, Fresh Cumberland Sausage, Fresh Sausage Size 12, Fresh Sausage Loose, Fresh Sausage Size 8.

The authorities say that this may make the implicated batches unsafe to handle and consume.

Furthermore, consumers who have bought the implicated batches are advised to dispose of the product or return to the place of purchase.
