A MAJOR warning has been issued after a popular dairy product was pulled from shelves across Irish supermarkets.

The latest food recall from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland impacts a cheese brand found in all major retailers.

Food Alerts

Sheridans Cheesemongers are recalling their Marcel Petite Mont D’or raw milk cheese due to the presence of Yersinia enterocolitica.

This is a bacteria infection that causes fever, abdominal pain and diarrhoea in children.

In adults and older children, the infection can cause right-sided abdominal pain and fever which is often confused with appendicitis.

The bacteria may be ingested by consumed contaminated food or water and symptoms typically develop three to seven days after infection.

The full list of symptoms include fever, abdominal cramps, watery or bloody diarrhoea, headaches, and vomiting.

Symptoms can last anywhere from one day to three weeks.

Sheridan’s Cheesemongers are pulling the raw cheese from shelves due to the contamination.

The affected cheese may have been sold freshly cut and wrapped in Sheridan’s cheese paper or as a 500g unit, according to the FSAI.

They also noted that recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.

Consumers are now advised not to eat the implicated cheese while retailers are being asked to removed the product from all supermarket shelves.

The impacted batches are all those sold between October 1, 2024 and November 21, 2024

FUTHER RECALLS

Separately, Dunnes Stores has issued an urgent recall of its Irish Chicken Sweet & Spicy Wings over concerns about salmonella contamination.

Punters are being warned in case they have frozen the 500g product, which has a use-by date of October 26, 2024.

This news comes after a batch was flagged for the potential presence of the harmful bacteria.

Customers who have purchased the affected item are urged to check their freezers immediately and not to consume the wings under any circumstances.

Recall notices will be displayed in all Dunnes Stores outlets to alert shoppers to the issue.

Salmonella infections can cause a range of unpleasant and sometimes severe symptoms.

Those infected typically develop diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody, alongside fever, abdominal cramps, and headaches.

Symptoms usually appear between 12 and 36 hours after exposure, although this time frame can range from 6 to 72 hours.

MANY school children are still receiving counselling a year after the “deeply traumatic” Parnell Square attack, a principal has revealed.

Three children and a care worker were injured in an attack outside a school Gaelscoil Cholaiste Mhuire on November 23 last year.

Following the attack, the city descended into chaos as widespread rioting broke out off the back of floods of misinformation on social media.

Speaking one year on, principal of the gaelscoil Pat Montague told how the critical incident was deeply traumatic experiences for pupils, their parents and staff.

He explained that the process of recovery is still very much ongoing and therefore would not be doing any media.

Mr Montague said: “From the moment the critical incident occurred, our focus has been on helping the children and the wider school community – many of whom are still receiving therapeutic supports – to recover.

“We’re extraordinarily grateful to all who provided help and support at the time and since.

‘HEALING PROCESS’

“However, because the trauma is still very real for so many in the school community – and the healing process will take some time yet – we are determined not to do anything which might re-traumatise our pupils, staff and their families.

“While we understand the public and media interest a year on from the critical incident outside our school and what occurred after it, we have decided that – apart from issuing this statement – we will not be doing any interviews or making any further comment.

“We really appreciate your understanding of this position.”

While a young boy, girl and carer were discharged from hospital, the other victim of the attack has had a much longer battle.

MAKING STRIDES

Now aged six, the brave little girl, who is now unable to talk, only returned home from hospital at the end of August.

On a fundraising page for her, her mum said that she remembers the day as “the incident” and not the “tragedy.”

But she admitted it has been a tough 12 months, as he daughter struggles to move or communicate as she used to.

And the mum said: “Me and my husband have had to relearn how to be a parent. It is different parenting altogether.

“And she has had to relearn being a child, with extreme limitations.

‘A WARRIOR’

“She cannot move or communicate as she used to, so she has to understand the meaning of patience. It takes a lot out of her to lift her arms, but she is a warrior and she does it.

“We strongly believe, despite medical assessments and reports, that she understands everything we say to her. She, like most 6-year-olds, chooses what she wishes to acknowledge.”

She added that the little girl has made “great progress”, adding: “We don’t wish her to stop. Only time will truly tell. Some people with acquired brain injuries have still shown change and improvement up to 10 years later. We’ve got time.

“It is a lot to take in, for all of those involved, the children, the parents, the school staff. I would like to thank everyone for the love and support over these 12 months. Hug your loved ones extra tight.”

The diet — one prohibiting animal products and instead focusing on fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes — is even cheaper than other healthy regimens.

On his "Nightcap" podcast with Chad Ochocinco, Sharpe eviscerated the franchise from owner Jerry Jones on down over a lack of leadership.

BORNA BARISIC spent six years at Ibrox before heading to Trabzonspor on a free transfer this summer.

But recent reports in Tukey have suggested the former Rangers man will be on the move again in January after just five months in Trabzon.

Barisic swapped Scotland for Turkey in July alongside fellow departed Ger John Lundstram.

The former Sheffield United midfielder has been enjoying his first stint abroad so far, having been involved in every single fixture since arriving.

But the same can’t be said for Barisic.

The Croatian has only started ONE game for manager Senol Gunes this season.

His poor start led to fears over his future in Turkey and it was claimed last week that his representatives had been summoned to negotiate a deal that would result in a mutual termination of his contract.

However, Barisic’s agent has now spoke for the first time the revelations came to light.

Ives Cakarun has rubbished all the talk and insists his client has no interest in leaving the club any time soon.

He said: “Borna Barisic has a long-term contract with Trabzonspor and we have no plans to leave at the moment.

“His relations with his club are very good and continue professionally.”

Barisic’s current deal runs on until the summer of 2026.

The left-back agreed a two-year deal with Trabzonspor, while Lundstram signed on for three years.

It was revealed earlier this season though that Barisic would be able to match Lundstram on three years – as long as he is in the starting XI for at least 50 per cent of their league ties in the 2025/26 season.

But it looks unlikely he will able to trigger that clause next year going by his struggling start in Turkey.

HOME owners who lean more toward an appearance conscious house are set to love a new item that’s just landed in Woodie’s – it’s ideal for winter.

The massive home ware shop has released a pressure power washer for less than €200.

The item can be bought in three separate payments[/caption]

The Karcher K3 Power Control Pressure Washer is available now in Woodie’s stores all around the country.

The device is the ideal way to keep your outdoor area looking clean this winter.

It can quickly and effectively blast off any grime or dirt that the seemingly never-ending bad weather can often bring.

The machine is the perfect way to keep your door step and garden path free of built up dirt and mud on colder days.

But it also serves a range of other handy functions.

For example, power washers are often used to keep cars and vehicles in sparkling condition, especially when rain and sleet are constantly pouring down.

During the winter, cars are likely to get rained on, stained by bad weather, and splashed with mud.

Giving it a weekly or bi weekly power wash means your car is kept in as good as new condition.

And not only does it look cleaner, it’s also safer to drive a clean car due to clearer windows and mirrors.

The power washer can be snapped up from Woodie’s in their upcoming Black Friday sale.

Originally priced at €199.99, Woodie’s have slashed the price for the discount day.

It’s now available for €150 in store and online.

And for an extra hand with saving money, shoppers can pay for the power tool in separate payments.

Punters can hand over €66.66 in three separate instalments to make the full payment.

An official description of the item reads: “Make light work of the toughest tasks with the Karcher K3 Power Control.

“Effortlessly apply detergent to efficiently increase your cleaning performance by using the integrated detergent tank in the base of the machine.

“Simply change the mode of your pressure washer with a click and twist of the vario lance.”

The machine has been a huge hit among home owners and gardeners.

It has multiple four and five star reviews.

One happy customer said: “Works great on my limestone paving and concrete. My existing accessories are backward compatible with it.

“Lighter and as powerful than my last model, which I had for 20 years. Like the onboard cleaning fluid reservoir.”

But they provided a major warning: “Careful to adjust setting, took a load of paint of the side of my shed, it’s so powerful.”
