A health supplement tablet and children’s sweets are the latest items to be recalled by the FSAI.
Specific batches of Rosabella Moringa supplement, which can be bought online, have been recalled both in Ireland and worldwide. That’s due to the presence of infectious bacteria salmonella, which can cause severe illness.
The symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhoea, fever, headache and abdominal cramps. Onset of symptoms is normally between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but can range between six and 72.

FSAI said: “The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
The recalled batches are packaged in white plastic bottles. The batch code is printed on the bottom of the bottles and is the middle seven digits of the code printed above the expiry date. The affected batches have best-before dates ranging from 03/2027 to 11/2027. “
Meanwhile a batch of sweets of the popular children’s character Hello Kitty have also been recalled. The Hello Kitty Apple Jelly Strips originate from China and are sold in some Asian stores.
