Brady Family and Deluxe Ham Recalled Over Possible Listeria
O’Brien Fine Foods is recalling selected Brady Family and Deluxe ham packs in Northern Ireland because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. All affected products have the same use-by date, but their pack sizes and batch codes differ.
What’s Affected
| Product | Pack size | Batch code |
|---|---|---|
| Brady Family Crumb Irish Ham | 80g | 235880 or 235765 |
| Deluxe Honey Roast Carved Irish Ham | 130g | 235473 |
| Deluxe Triple Oak Smoked Carved Irish Ham | 130g | 235461 |
Use by for all listed packs: 16 July 2026.
What You Should Do
Do not eat the affected ham. Return it to the shop where it was bought for a full refund. Listeria can cause serious illness, especially during pregnancy and in older people or those with weakened immune systems.
Check Both Brands and All Listed Batches
O'Brien Fine Foods is named as the producer, while the products are sold as Brady Family and Deluxe ham. The Brady Family 80g pack has two affected batch codes; the two 130g Deluxe products have one each. All share the same 16 July use-by date, so the brand, size and batch help distinguish the recalled packs.
The FSA describes possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Its instruction not to eat the ham applies to all customers with a matching pack, rather than only people at greater risk of serious illness.
Why Ready-to-Eat Meat Gets Particular Attention
The NHS listeriosis guide identifies cold cooked sliced meats among foods associated with infection. It also explains symptoms and urgent advice for vulnerable people.
If you have already used an affected pack in sandwiches or served it to others, keep its details and let those people know about the alert. This FSA notice is specific to Northern Ireland.
