Tesco recalls own brand cheese over E.coli fears

The possible presence of Shiga toxin producing E.coli is the reason for the recall.

TESCO IS RECALLING one of its cheese brands due to fears that it is contaminated with a dangerous type of E.coli.

All batches of Tesco Finest St Félicien Du Dauphiné unpasteurised cheese is being recalled due to the possible presence of Shiga toxin producing E.coli (STEC).

While most E.coli are harmless STEC produce a powerful toxin which can cause severe illness. Symptoms include abdominal cramps and diarrhoea and they can appear up to eight days after the initial infection.

Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in Tesco stores advising consumers not to eat the cheese.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland today issued a notice to inform consumers of the recall.

    Mad to think all the Yanks still go into the shop in Waterford and buy crystal made in Asia and none the wiser that’s it not actually got anything to do with Waterford at all. Over the years, every single thing we made in this country has just been allowed to be stripped and sold and the workers told “Ah sure won’t you get a few bob from the redundancy?”

    They do still blow and hand cut crystal in the new factory/ shop in Waterford.. It’s also sold in the shop.. Most of it is still made elsewhere do.. But the tradition still continues.. They just took on apprentices recently also.. So it’s not as negative as you made it out there in fairness..

    happily, the taxpayer bailed out the pension fund for the extremely wellpaid staff.

    Some glassblowers used to get stretch limos home from work everyday at 4pm when they knocked off.

    One day a man or woman (less likely) will come and lead the idiots of humanity out of the wilderness otherwise someone is definitely going to lose the plot with this abhorrent obnoxious capitalist behaviour and really do some horrible damage. VILE VILE VILE. Accountancy is the cancer of society.
