Health & Safety Alerts – Stay Informed and Protected

Welcome to the Health & Safety hub of Revved Racing Rides. Here you’ll find real‑world safety news that matters to everyday life, not just the track. From food recalls to practical safety tips, we break it down so you can act fast and stay safe.

What’s Happening with the Listeria Recall?

Earlier this week, an urgent recall was issued for 18 cheese varieties sold at Tesco and Spar stores across Ireland. The products may contain Listeria, a bacteria that can cause serious illness, especially for pregnant women, the elderly, and anyone with a weak immune system. The affected cheeses carry best‑before dates in May 2025 and include flavours like Chilli and Irish Whiskey from brands such as Spar, Horgans, and Old Irish Creamery.

If you bought any of these cheeses, don’t eat them. Return them to the store for a full refund – it’s free and takes only a few minutes. Keep the receipt if you have it; it speeds up the process. Even if the cheese looks and smells fine, the risk is still there because Listeria can’t be seen or tasted.

How to Keep Yourself Safe

Food recalls happen, but you can limit the impact with a few simple steps. First, always check the label for the product’s batch number and best‑before date. When a recall is announced, compare those details with what you have at home. If you’re unsure, a quick call to the store or the brand’s customer service can clear things up.

Second, practice good kitchen hygiene. Listeria thrives in cool, damp places, so clean your fridge regularly and keep raw foods separate from ready‑to‑eat items. If you suspect any contamination, wash your hands thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds before handling other foods.

Lastly, stay tuned to reliable sources for updates. Our Health & Safety page will be refreshed with the latest information, and you can sign up for email alerts from Tesco, Spar, or the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. Quick action saves lives, and being informed is the first line of defence.

From food safety to track safety, the principle is the same – know the risk, act fast, and keep yourself protected. Got a question about a recall or a safety tip? Drop a comment below and we’ll get back to you. Stay safe, stay aware, and keep racing forward.
