Aunt Bessie's meatballs - incomplete instructions

Friday 19 October 2007

The Agency is warning consumers that all batches of 'Aunt Bessie's eight beef meatballs in a rich onion gravy' sold exclusively in Iceland stores have incomplete cooking instructions.

The current cooking instructions may not provide sufficient heat treatment to ensure thorough cooking, and could therefore possibly lead to food poisoning, although the risk is low.

As a precautionary measure, Iceland has taken all remaining stocks of product off its shelf. It is also displaying point-of-sale notices in its stores advising customers of what actions they can take if they have already bought this product.

Customers can contact the manufacturer's (Tryton Foods) customer care line on 01482 223 223 or Iceland's: 01244 842 842.
