People should not eat Irish pork until there has been a full investigation into tainted pig feed, the Food Standards Agency has said.
Nine premises in NI and 47 in the Irish Republic were supplied with the same feed being linked to the contamination.
The source is thought to have been feed tainted with oil from a County Carlow firm which recycles food in pig meal.
Gerry McCurdy from the FSA said there was no immediate risk to health in Northern Ireland.
