Second Recall of Sesame Seeds due to Salmonella Contamination

The FSAI has issued a food alert to confirm that Salmonella has been detected in a second batch of sesame seeds, supplied via the UK to the retail chains Centra, Supervalu, and Tesco Ireland. The batches are being withdrawn from sale by the supermarkets but consumers who may have already purchased the seeds should not eat the seeds, and should dispose of them or return them to the supermarket. The type of Salmonella present has been identified as Salmonella Orion; its presence could cause illness if the seeds are eaten raw.
