The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has recalled batches of Pat the Baker and Irish Pride bread crumbs over fears that they contain a disease-causing bacteria.
The Irish bread products that are sold in Tesco, Supervalu and Dunnes may contain Listeria monocytogenes which can cause mild flu-like symptoms, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.
