Bottles of hot sauce recalled over 'risk of explosion'

Customers are advised to immediately return the sauce.

THE FOOD SAFETY Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued a recall on a batch of popular hot chili sauce over concerns that its contents could explode.

The authority has recalled 740ml bottles of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce with a best before date of March 2021 as it says there is a “risk of the contents exploding once the bottle is opened”.

Sriracha FSAI FSAI

The FSAI said the sauce could irritate eyes or skin if this happens.

Members of the public are advised to return affected bottles of the hot sauce to the location they were purchased from, or else to dispose of them.

A spokeswoman for the authority said that it could not confirm the reason for the possible cause of explosion, but said that such a risk sometimes occurred when gas in the product built up as a result of spoilage or uncontrolled fermentation.

    Are they really benefitting from WhatsApp’s outage, or is it more that people are ditching WhatsApp since the Facebook takeover?

    I deleted my account, and the app from my phone. Barely use it as it is. Find Viber better.

    Yeah, I only use viber. Didn’t bother even trying any other messaging app. How many different ways do I need to talk to the same people?

    Had both WhatsApp and Viber for a couple of years. When Viber added text messaging (was originally just voice) stopped using WhatsApp altogether.

    Never heard of LINE don’t know why they’re bragging. Left whatsapp for viber a long time ago. Joining with Facebook will mean constant technical problems problems

    Currently working in S.E. Asia here, Whatsapp is almost nonexistent – Line has pretty much obtained market saturation. It’s a big world out there buddy, and Ireland is a very small pixel in the picture.

    Just sayin’

    Well you said you don’t know why they’re bragging… Well, 340+ million users and 0 network problems, (ever, in my experience). Facebook buys Whatsapp and an outage occurs within hours.

    That’s the reason they were braggin’

    Yep. Any Korean or Japanese person I’ve met here in Asia seem to never even have heard of Viber or Whatsapp. LINE is massive. I prefer it to Viber which I use for my Irish friends. I’d recommend to give it a try.

    No point in staying with a service when there is a better one out there for free.

    Viber is so laggy I can’t deal with it. Whatsapp is miles better but now I wonder about privacy now that fb have taken over. No doubt in a few weeks we’ll notice ‘pages you might like suggestions’ will be relevant to private conversations had with mates on what’s app.

    I’m no expert but I would expect people to bounce around from one free app to the next. It takes seconds and groups can reform in no time. Facebook will try to cull or own any threat to its platform, which I have to say, for me is becoming less interesting every day.

    My daughter in Japan told us about Line over two years ago and we use it all the time, it is a superb messaging and call service, very clear with no delay between Ireland and Japan.
