On 27th July, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) confirmed that McCormack Family Farms has recalled a specific batch of spinach and some mixed leaf products following the detection of Listeria monocytogenes.
As a food producer, our technical team is vigilant in hygiene and safety standards. The bacteria was identified through our routine food safety testing, which involves laboratory analysis of every crop. In line with our strict protocols, we immediately notified the FSAI and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) and initiated a recall.
McCormack Family Farms operates to the highest food safety standards, and such contamination is extremely rare. We are following the necessary guidelines and working closely with the food safety regulators and relevant Government Departments to resolve this quickly.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or concern caused and we thank our trade customers and consumers for their support at this time.
Full details and product lists are available on the FSAI website at www.fsai.ie. No other products or batches are impacted.
