Marks & Spencer has issued an urgent recall of two of its chicken products in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after salmonella was found in them. The "Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Burgers" and "2 Chicken Kyivs" started being recalled on Friday, with Marks & Spencer (M&S) telling customers to avoid eating them and return them to their nearest stores.
The Southern Fried Chicken Burgers in question have the use by dates 26, 30, 31 January and 1 February, and the 2 Chicken Kyivs have a 26 January expiry date. The Food Standards Agency said point of sale notices would be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the affected products, explaining to customers why they are being recalled and telling them what to do if they have bought them.
The product recall only relates to those sold in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland M&S stores. In a statement, M&S said: "Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer and we take all issues regarding the productions of our foods extremely seriously.
"We apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused.". First signs of relief from Storm Eowyn, but Ireland still counting the cost. Micheal Martin voted in as Ireland's next premier after chaos sees parliament suspended. Ireland delays selection of prime minister as parliament erupts in row.
