Food Safety Authority of Ireland issues warning over baby food recall

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has warned that a baby food producer has issued a recall of its product.

In an alert posted to the FSAI website, the authority wrote:

"Babease Ltd. is recalling three batches of its Broccoli, Parsnip & Lentils with Onion, Tomato, Quinoa, Fennel, Rapeseed Oil & Herbs baby food as there have been isolated cases in which Babease Ltd. has identified a packaging fault. "This could potentially lead to natural spoilage of the product. No other Babease Ltd. products are known to be affected."

The FSAI has further clarified that food businesses, including online retailers, currently selling the affected batches must immediately remove these products from sale. Food businesses that have sold the affected batches to consumers must also display a point-of-sale notice in store and on websites if sold online. Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches. If consumers have the implicated products at home they are asked to contact Babease Ltd. customer service department (phone: +44 -207-6520576, email: customerservice@babease.co.uk) for a full refund and replacement or return the item to the store it was purchased from, for a full refund. The affected batch is identifiable by its Best Before Date: 02.06.2019. The FSAI has also attached a photo of the product.
