Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and consumers are advised not to consume the ready-meal

Two popular ready-meals that are sold in Dunnes Stores and Tesco have been recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) due to undeclared milk being present, as well as a labelling error. 

A specific batch of the PUREPOWER Nutrition Chicken and Chorizo Paella is one of the dishes at the centre of this recall. This is because the meal contains milk which is not declared on the ingredients list. This may make the implicated batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of milk. The affected batches are the 400g pack size with all use-by dates up to and including January 17, 2026. placeholder image
