Also werde ich damit beginnen, indem ich sage, dass ich in Anorexia -Rückfälle bin, ich bin 45 und ich versuche seit April besser zu werden, und eines meiner sicheren Lebensmittel war der Aldi -Truthahn und die Ham Ready Make Diners. Ich kannte die Kalorien und es hatte ein bisschen von allem für mich, also fühlte ich mich sicher, bevor die Leute für meine Auswahl an Essen kommen. Ich habe jetzt auch ein sehr immungeschwächendes System aufgrund langjähriger Unterernährung. Also habe ich meine 3 Abendessen am Freitag gekauft und hatte gestern einen. Außerdem kaufe ich den Brei, als ich nur ich und der Ehemann esse sie, also habe ich das am Sonntag gegessen. Ich fühlte mich gestern ein bisschen in einem Kopfschmerz, aber es ging. Ich habe gerade gelesen, dass eine Person gestorben ist und 9 andere sind sehr unwohl und natürlich sind meine sicheren Abendessen 1 der Haupterziehungen. Ich bin normalerweise keine Sorgen über solche Dinge, da es mich nie beeinflusst hat, aber ich habe trotzdem schwerwiegende Vertrauensprobleme mit Essen. Ich steige auf meinen Hausarzt und mir wird gesagt, dass ich nichts tun kann, als in den nächsten 10 Tagen auf Symptome zu achten und direkt ins Krankenhaus zu gehen, wenn ich Verwirrung durch Schwindel usw. bemerke, was mich in eine schwere Angstspirale geschickt hat. Es werden keine blutigen Chargenzahlen veröffentlicht, sie haben es nicht auf die spezifische Mahlzeit verfolgt, also habe ich jetzt absolut Angst. Jeder Insider -Informationen oder Ratschläge, weil ich mir ehrlich vorstellen kann, dass ich sterbe, weil ich versucht habe zu essen, um meine Magersucht loszuwerden 😭🥴🥴

Given your health issues, you’re better off getting advice from the professionals which you seem to have done already.
The risk is probably very low. Food safety standards in Ireland are some the highest in the world.
Peel potatoes, put in saucepan of water, boil till soft, remove water, add milk,butter salt pepper, mash
It’s a ballymaguire product recall. Check the producer (which I doubt it’s them based of the „product of northern ireland“ label).
As someone has unfortunately passed away, I would take it very seriously
Have you a decent microwave and did you follow the cooking instructions? If so you’ll be safe. Listeria is killed at 75c and is practically inactivated at 65c. The danger is for people with shit microwaves or not following cooking instructions.
„Inspired Cuisine“ products appear on that list RTE/pdf list.. Better safe than sorry..
*“If in doubt, chuck it out“*
The Turkey and Ham dinner and the mashed potatoes were not part of the lines that were in that recall. So you are safe from that from what you have eaten so far.
[This article from The Irish Times ](https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/07/23/listeriosis-outbreak-food-safety-authotiy-of-ireland/) has a list of all recalled foods.
Is that Ballymaguire though? You shouldn’t be ill from the one yesterday. Symptoms take 3 days absolute minimum, but usually 3 weeks.
If it is Ballymaguire, throw them out. Batch numbers don’t matter this time, it’s all batches.

That product isnt on the published list of recalled products.
That sounds really tough OP, you have my full sympathies. Are there other foods either convenience foods or others that you can eat in the meantime that might cause less anxiety? There is a full list of affected products on fsai website, maybe you can find something similar but not on the list to tide you over?
You might wanna pick up a cheap food thermometer for peace of mind. Nuke your food to an even 75 degrees throughout and you’ll be absolutely in the clear for listeria. That way, you can still have your safe foods and hopefully not worry too much.
Not much risk with spuds
I used to work for Kerry Foods that made these type meals and the first thing they thought us in orientation was to never leave pools of water anywhere on the factory floor cuz it breeds listeria. It’s lethal, do not risk it.
That’ll do it. Unless your microwave is terrible that will kill listeria.
Oh I get that with your health issues this is extra complicated, but personally I would not risk it, especially if you’re immunocompromised.
Do you have other safe foods you can fall back on?
I’ve just been on the phone to Aldi HQ and been into my own Aldi to speak with the manager. The Turkey & Ham dinners are on the shelves still, and as far as they’re concerned, have not been recalled. That said, absolutely keep an eye on yourself and at the first sign of any symptoms, get to the hospital. Hopefully though this gives a little peace of mind!
What’s the risk. What’s the reward. Is it really worth it?
[deleted]
SO I JUST RANG AND IM TOKD THEY ARE STILL SELLING THESE AND THEY ARE NOT RECALLED hopefully
It’s a matter of life and death
https://www.rte.ie/documents/news/2025/07/ballymaguire-recall-list-v3.pdf
Looks like the Insipired Cuisine Mashed potato isn’t on the list, so you should be ok!
Listeria outbreak is limited to only 140 ballymaguire products who produce the meals for supervalue and those type of big retail conglomerates, monitor if you do feel sick but you should be safe as of now only 10 cases have been reported.
Also be a bit mindful you could experience health anxiety, sometimes I get a health scare and I get on Google to get a grip of what it could be and suddenly I develop/trick myself into having symptoms to match what I’ve been researching
The number one rule for food safety: When in doubt, DON’T.
It’s only one product effected but they’ve recalled everything to be safe
You’re incorrect about no batch numbers. The FSAI has recalled everything due to possible presence. This means everything from that plant is suspect.
The good news is, if you cooked it properly. You’ll be fine. Listeria dies at 75C. There’s probably an element of shitty microwaves or ppl undercooking involved.
[Full list of affected products](https://www.fsai.ie/getmedia/ae9afb4b-fec2-42e3-98aa-93f8debca508/ballymaguire-recall-list-v3.pdf)
Does anyone know if you give the food a good blast in microwave or oven would that most likely kill all the germs?
OP the risks are likely very low but stuff like this must cause you and many others with eating disorders awful distress. I hope you feel better soon x
These two posts back to back is a chilling sight to be fair

The fit foods haven’t been recalled, they are made in a different factory.
so Lord Lidl products not in the list?☠️
Take this seriously. Recent outbreaks, In 2024 – 13 died in two separate outbreaks. 3 in Canada in 2024, 1 in 2022 in the US, In 2019 in Spain, 1 dead and 8 miscarriages. In 2017/2018 180 deaths in South Africa
I got hit with it during the outbreak in 2019 from prepackaged chicken breast slices. It was the worst illness I ever suffered. I lost a stone in 48 hours and walking, especially up and down stairs was exhausting for weeks. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I wouldn’t risk it.
Just know that future packages will be up to better standards. Hope this doesn’t spoil it for you forever
Fascinating to see how the same prepared shite ranges from the Happy Pear (of annoying c**ts) to Tesco, SuperValu, Centra and Aldi. All made by same factory just different packaging and prices.
This has been going on longer than they are letting on. Back on June 30th the Cabbage and Bacon dinners this company produces were recalled for Listeria. Then on 18th of July they extended this to the Turkey and Ham dinners. Now they have said screw it the whole range has got to go. This probably means people have been getting ill for a while, and now more people are getting ill they have gone with the nuclear option and shut the entire operation down.
You can see this all here: https://www.fsai.ie/news-alert/all-alerts
Edit: Oh and OP if you read this, if you heated those meals properly there is very little chance that you are going to be ill, especially as it could be the bad batches were from a long time ago. Try not to worry, just keep a close eye on yourself and you’ll be fine.
Hey OP, given the circumstances of your health issues, your immune system is most definitely weakened so eating the recalled products is very risky. If you’re not sure just throw it out anyways, given that it’s a large scale recall. As far as I am aware the Dunnes ready meals are not affected since Ballymaguire are not the supplier so you can try those instead.
Wait what happened?
Hey, if you’re struggling to find foods that fit your requirements, go to Lidl. None of their products are on the recall list
Looks like Dunnes Stores is the place to shop!
