A statement on the website of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) reads: "The above batch of Dunnes Stores Soya Drink is being recalled by Dunnes Stores. This is due to a packaging issue which may lead to air in the product causing it to spoil. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale in Dunnes Stores.

"Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

"Consumers are advised not to drink the implicated batch."

The affected batch code is A07301 and the best before date is 13.03.25.

One of the most common health risks associated with consuming spoiled soy milk is digestive distress. Bacterial contamination can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach cramps.

In severe cases, consuming bad soy milk can even result in food poisoning. Food poisoning occurs when you ingest harmful bacteria or their toxins, which can cause a range of symptoms including fever, chills, and body aches. If you experience these symptoms after consuming spoiled soy milk, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Furthermore, the breakdown of nutrients in bad soy milk can also contribute to digestive issues. As soy milk spoils, the proteins and fats in it start to break down, resulting in an unpleasant taste and smell. This breakdown can also make the soy milk harder to digest, leading to additional discomfort and digestive distress.

The recall comes after the FSAI issued an alert about Kellogg's Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour earlier this week.

They have warned people who may have bought the breakfast cereal not to consume it.

A statement on the FSAI website reads: "Kellanova is recalling the above batches of Kellogg's Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour due to a potential presence of hard lumps that may pose a choking hazard and / or dental damage.

"Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.

"Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

"Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches."
