Tayto recalls




Crisp lovers everywhere were left disappointed this week when popular Irish brand Tayto recalled some of its products due to a potential health risk. The recall affects a number of different products, including Tayto Cheese & Onion crisps, Tayto Salt & Vinegar crisps, and Tayto Prawn Cocktail crisps.

The recall was issued after it was discovered that some of the products may contain traces of salmonella. Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause food poisoning, and symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, salmonella can even be fatal.

Tayto has urged customers not to eat any of the affected products and to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

The potential health risk is a serious matter, and it is important to follow the instructions from Tayto. If you have any of the affected products, please return them to the store where you purchased them immediately.


Tayto has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the recall. The company is working with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland to investigate the source of the contamination.

In the meantime, Tayto has advised customers to check the packaging of their crisps before eating them. If the packaging has a best before date of 2023 or later, the crisps are safe to eat. However, if the packaging has a best before date of 2022, the crisps should be returned to the store.

If you are concerned about food poisoning, please seek medical advice.
