Incorrectly declared almonds in Lidl Bridge Bakery Oxford Lunch Cake.
Alert Summary
Allergy Alert Notification: 2026.A05.
Allergen: Nuts (Almond).
Product Identification: Bridge Bakery Oxford Lunch Cake; pack size: 410g.
Batch Code: All batch codes and all best before dates.
Country Of Origin: Ireland.
Message:
Bridge Bakery Oxford Lunch Cake contains almonds which are not emphasised on the list of ingredients. This may make the product unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of nuts (almonds), and therefore, these consumers should not eat the affected packs.
The implicated product is being recalled by German international discount supermarket chain Lidl.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today advises that Danone is recalling specific batches of its infant formula and follow-on formula due to the potential presence of cereulide. The implicated products were manufactured in Ireland and exported to a number of EU countries, the UK and third countries.
This recall is associated with a contaminated raw ingredient which was also implicated in the recent recall of some batches of infant formula and follow-on formula by Nestlé. An ingredient, ARA oil, which was manufactured in China, was contaminated with cereulide and added as an ingredient in base powder used to make infant formula and follow-on formula. Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of the bacterium Bacillus cereus, which can cause food poisoning.
The FSAI has been notified by Danone that none of the implicated products have been distributed in Ireland. The FSAI has notified the European Commission of this recall through its Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) to ensure that all affected countries are notified.
The FSAI and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, who regulate the Danone manufacturing facilities in Ireland, continue to engage with Danone to ensure that all food safety measures are being taken to protect consumers.
Former Ireland South MEP Mr Brian Crowley has died aged 61, following a year-long illness.
Mr Crowley, a West Cork native, passed away in the early hours of this morning, while receiving treatment at Cork University Hospital.
Elected to the European Parliament on five occasions between 1994 and 2014, Mr Crowley served as an MEP for two decades and stepped down in 2019. He initially represented Fianna Fáil before being removed from the party after a dispute linked to his decision to join the European Conservatives and Reformists Group.
He was a wheelchair user, having been paralysed from the waist down following an accident at the age of 16. In his final term, he faced criticism over prolonged absences from the European Parliament due to illness, though he maintained he continued constituency work while hospitalised.
Paying tribute, Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin described Mr Crowley as a “hugely impressive individual”, noting his strong electoral bond with voters and his personal resilience. Tánaiste Mr Simon Harris also expressed sympathies to Mr Crowley’s family, acknowledging his decades of public service and the affection he commanded across the Ireland South constituency.
Mr Crowley is survived by his mother, Sally, and his siblings.
