Food Authority recalls turkey burgers over salmonella concerns

The Food Safety Authority has recalled a batch of turkey burgers over fears of the presence of Salmonella.

The product in question is Hogan's Farm Turkey Burgers; pack size: 400g; approval number: IE 827 EC. The use by date: 26 July 2025.

In a statement, the FASI said:

"The above batch of Hogan's Farm Turkey Burgers is being recalled due to the possible presence of Salmonella. Although this product is past its use by date, it is suitable for home freezing. Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the implicated batch.

Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.

The FSAI advise that people infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps. 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.

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.
