Ireland’s Food Safety Authority issued a Category 1 recall for Lidl and SuperValu pork mince over salmonella concerns and separately pulled Surasang frozen oysters over norovirus risk. Consumers were told not to eat the affected batches and retailers were told to remove them from sale.

Ireland’s Food Safety Authority has issued a Category 1 recall covering pork mince sold in Lidl and SuperValu after salmonella concerns, while a separate alert pulled imported frozen oysters over norovirus risk.

The recalls were issued on June 12 and affect a small number of specific batches. Retailers were told to remove the products from sale and display recall notices, while consumers were advised not to eat the affected items.

Pork mince recall

The pork recall covers Lidl Family Pack 100% Irish Pork Mince, 800g, with a use-by date of June 16, 2026 and batch number L5159.

It also covers SuperValu Fresh Irish Pork Mince in 400g packs, use-by June 16, 2026, batch L5159, and SuperValu Fresh Irish Pork Mince in 800g packs, use-by June 16, 2026, batch L6159.

The products are identified as originating in Ireland and carrying approval number IE 329 EC.

Salmonella is a common cause of food poisoning and can lead to gastrointestinal illness. The alert means customers who bought the affected batches should not eat them.

Oyster recall

A separate recall covers Surasang Frozen Oysters, 226g, with a best-before date of April 25, 2027.

That alert was issued over norovirus concerns. Norovirus is a frequent cause of gastroenteritis and is often associated with shellfish contamination.

The Food Safety Authority said retailers should remove the oysters from sale and display recall notices, matching the instructions issued for the pork products.

What consumers should do

Anyone who has the affected pork mince or oysters should not eat them. The products should be returned to the place of purchase, in line with standard recall advice.

No illness cluster has been confirmed in the available reporting. The recalls are being treated as precautionary food-safety measures tied to the identified batches.

The twin alerts affect two major supermarket chains and a separate imported seafood product line, making this a significant consumer recall for Ireland even though the affected batches are limited.
