water recall

Take note.

People are being advised by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) not to drink two types of bottled water from the Spar and Londis retail chains.

As a precautionary measure, BWG Foods is withdrawing a batch of SPAR Water Still Sport- 750ml and Londis Water Still – 1 litre.

The reason for this recall is due to the presence of arsenic above normal levels.

 Consumption of the product does not cause any immediate or on-going risk, but consumers have been advised not to drink the water nonetheless. 

Retailers have also been requested to remove the implicated batches from sale.

More information on the recall can be found on the FSAI website here.
