Food Safety recall round-up 11-24 September
Clostridium botulinum in beetroot
September - England: Asda recalled a batch of its Chosen By You Pickled Crinkle Cut Beetroot due to Clostridium botulinum contamination.
The supermarket said manufacturing controls that could potentially affect safety could not be demonstrated satisfactorily.
The issue relates to controlling factors to prevent the growth and toxin production of Clostridium botulinum. The botulinum toxin may cause a serious form of food poisoning called botulism.
The 710g package has a barcode: 505407035908, batch code: 4340 'best before' date 6 December 2016.
