Dunnes Stores Potato Waffles recalled due to elevated mineral oil hydrocarbons

Dunnes Stores has issued a recall for their Potato Waffles, which come in a 680g pack size. The recall is due to the presence of elevated levels of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) in this specific batch. These hydrocarbons can originate from various sources, including environmental contamination and food production processes, and some of them may raise health concerns if consumed over an extended period.

The affected batch has a best-before date of July 2028. While the immediate risk to health from consuming these waffles is not considered urgent, it is advised that consumers avoid eating this particular batch to minimize potential health risks associated with long-term exposure to these compounds.

Consumers are encouraged to check their products and refrain from consuming the recalled batch. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale locations in Dunnes stores to inform shoppers about this issue.
