Further Western Brand - Supermarket Chicken Recalls Due to Salmonella Risk

Western Brand Recalls Lidl and Inishella Chicken Products Over Salmonella Risk

Western Brand is recalling a range of chicken products sold under the Lidl and Inishella labels due to the possible presence of Salmonella. The recall covers a single batch code across 13 products, all of Irish origin.

Although the affected products are past their use-by dates, Western Brand has noted they are suitable for home freezing. Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the implicated batch.

All products in the recall carry batch code 26092-313, with use-by dates of either 12 or 13 April 2026. Recall notices are being displayed at point of sale.

People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, though this can range from 6 to 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache, and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to experience a severe illness.

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
