Two chocolate favourites are being recalled due to health fears.

The popular treats are being pulled from Irish shelves due to a risk of Salmonella poisoning.

Galaxy’s Smooth Milk bar and Maltesers Fin Size bags of chocolate are the products in question.

There are currently no reports of illness, but consumption of the affected products could cause salmonellosis.

Symptoms of this illness include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, vomiting and fever.

A statement from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland said: “In June 2017, Mars Ireland recalled a range of its products due to the possible presence of Salmonella.

“Two pallets of the above-implicated products were on hold with an Irish distributor awaiting destruction but were placed on the market accidentally.

“Mars Ireland is recalling the above specific batch of the 42g Galaxy Smooth Milk bar and Maltesers Fun Size bags.”

Food businesses are requested to remove the affected batch of the two products from sale and clearly display a point-of-sale notice informing customers not to eat them.

Consumers are advised not to eat the specific batches. Those who may have already consumed the implicated batches and are feeling unwell should seek medical advice.
