Person Dies After Eating Ready Meal Sold at Tesco and Aldi Amid Listeriosis Fear

IRELAND, JUL 24 – Authorities have recalled over 140 ready meals after an extensive outbreak caused nine confirmed cases and one death linked to Ballymaguire Foods products, officials said.

  • One person has died after consuming a contaminated ready meal, with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland saying it was linked to a rare bacterial outbreak in Ireland.
  • Ballymaguire Foods supplied the implicated ready meals, while Listeria monocytogenes can survive refrigeration and freezing, complicating detection and safety.
  • A total of 141 ready meals were recalled, nine were linked to illness, and Ballymaguire Foods posted notices at points of sale.
  • The Health Service Executive said 'A voluntary precautionary food recall of ready-to-heat meals is underway due to a link with the outbreak,' while Ballymaguire Foods said 'the recall is precautionary and linked to the outbreak,' and the company apologised for the incident.
  • Vulnerable groups should note, the bacteria affects pregnant women, babies, and those with weakened immune systems.
