The Chips Are Down At Pettitt’s

Pettitt’s SuperValu Bray

here’s another wave of listeria hysteria sweeping Leinster as The Food Safety Authority Of Ireland issue an urgent recall notice on specific batches of ready meals on the shelves of Pettitt’s supermarkets in Wicklow, Wexford and Kildare.

Including that great big SuperValu on the Southern Cross in sunny Bray.

Specifically it’s the Pettitt’s Kitchen products that are being recalled due to the presence of listeria monocytogenes, which is said to cause ‘mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea‘. In rare cases, say the FSAI, ‘the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications‘.

Especially if you’re a pregnant woman, a baby, or have a weakened immune system.

Pettitt’s SuperValu have six supermarkets across Leinster, and the recall of implicated ready meal batches comprises of…

A total of 35 different products were included in the recall, with retailers requested by the FSAI to remove all implicated batches from sale, plus post recall notices at the point of sale.

Luckily, Holohan’s SuperValu on Church Road have their very own kitchen upstairs when it comes to their rather fine ready meals.
