The discount retailer Aldi is recalling several batches of its houmous due to the possible presence of salmonella.

This follows a similar recall earlier this week at Aldi and Lidl.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has published a list of all the implicated houmous products and batches, including retailers, subject to the recall.

It says the recall affects all 'use by' dates.

Zorba Delicacies is extending the recall to include the below batches of houmous, due to the possible presence of salmonella.

These products were sold in Aldi stores.

The FSAI says point-of-sale notices will be displayed in the affected stores.

People infected with salmonella generally develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection - however, the FSAI says this can range between six and 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 four to seven days.
