In their statement, the FSAI confirmed, “The above implicated batches of SuperValu Signature Tastes Greek Feta and Pasta Salad were mispacked with coleslaw. The coleslaw product contains egg and mustard, which are not declared in the ingredients list on the label of the Greek Feta and Pasta Salad. This may make the implicated batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of egg and/or mustard.”

The FSAI statement warns that while thorough cooking can eliminate salmonella, it is best to avoid consumption entirely for safety reasons. Salmonella infection typically presents symptoms such as diarrhoea, which may occasionally be severe and bloody, along with fever, headache, and abdominal cramps. Symptoms generally develop within 12 to 36 hours after exposure, though they can appear within 6 to 72 hours. In most cases, symptoms last between 4 to 7 days, but severe cases may require hospitalization, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, infants, and those with weakened immune systems.
