Irish eggs seem to be free of fipronil with no contaminated products in Ireland, the FSAI has said.
The news follows a story last week of contamination of huge numbers of Dutch eggs with the pesticide fipronil, which can be toxic in large doses.
The FSAI is continuing to monitor the issue.
Effected eggs
Up to 10m contaminated eggs may have been sold in Germany, and Aldi is the first retailer to halt sales of all eggs.
“This is merely a precaution, there is no reason to assume there are any health risks,” said Aldi.
Investigators believe the chemical was present in detergent used in barn cleaning.
Europe’s largest egg exporter is the Netherlands, and exports 65% of the 10bn eggs it produces yearly.
A spokeswoman for Aldi UK told the BBC its eggs were all British and were not affected by the contamination.
