Overnight oats

Separately this week, the FSAI issued a recall notice due to the possible presence of listeria in an overnight oats product.

The FSAI issued the notice for the recall for a specific batch of Nutrilean Chocolate Brownie Overnight Oats.

The impacted product, which also originated in the UK, has a pack size of 180g and a best before date of 25/11/2025.

This batch is being recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

The FSAI stated that recall notices will be displayed at the point-of-sale in stores.

Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale, while wholesalers and distributors are ordered to contact their affected customers.

Consumers are advised to not eat the product if it is from the implicated batch.

A listeria monocytogenes infection can present itself in mild-flu like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

The authority outlined that, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.

The FSAI noted that some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including pregnant women, babies, and individuals with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.

It also added that the incubation period, which is the time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing, is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.
