Haggis recalled over food poisoning fears
The Foods Standards Agency issued a recall notice over Christmas, noting fears over the company’s actions to control Clostridium botulinum in its products.
The bacteria can produce botulinum toxin that causes serious food poisoning and can be potentially fatal.
However, The Farmer’s Son of Auchtertool, Fife said no traces of the toxin had been found in its products and that the recall was a precaution.
Recall was a precaution
It advised customers not to eat its products and instead return them to the place they were bought from for a full refund.
The recall applied to 1lb, 2lb and 4lb packs of Haggis Bungs with use by dates ranging from December 20 2017 to January 10 2018. Also included were 300g packs of Haggis 4 Slice and Black and White Pudding 4 Slice (see box below for full details).
Meanwhile, last month Alana Spencer, winner of the hit BBC TV show The Apprentice, admitted to being “mortified”, after she was forced to recall cakes and bars from her Ridiculously Rich brand, due to a labelling error.
