Urgent recall for popular cheese item sold in Dunnes, SuperValu and Tesco due to possible mould

A batch of a popular cheese item sold in supermarkets across Ireland has been urgently recalled due to the possible presence of mould.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued a notice today about a specific batch of Roma Formaggio da Pasta Dried Cheese Powder.

Dunnes Stores, SuperValu and Tesco are among the retailers who sell the cheese powder and have since removed the affected products from sale and posted recall notices at their point-of-sale.

An FSAI spokesperson said: "The above batch of Roma Formaggio da Pasta is being recalled due to the possible presence of mould.

The affected item comes in an 80g pack size and has the best before date 21/03/2025.

Anyone who has an affected batch at home is advised not to eat it.

Earlier this week, a recalled notice was issued for multiple batches of burger buns due to the possible presence of metal pieces. On Tuesday, the FSAI issued a recall for various Johnston Mooney & O'Brien burger bun products, which were sold in Burger King, Supermac's, Lidl, Dunnes Stores, and by wholesalers Bundys and Brennans.

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches, which are listed below.
