Expert Opinion
This is the latest in a long line of product recalls issued by the FSA relating to failings within the manufacturing and packaging procedures of food products. <br/> <br/>“While we welcome the swift action taken by the manufacturer, we hope that a thorough investigation is carried out into how these products we produced and/or packaged in an unhygienic environment, which could put the health and safety of consumers at risk. <br/> <br/>“We have seen first-hand the consequences contaminated food products can have on those unfortunate enough to eat them. It is vital more is done to ensure every food product entering the market is suitable for consumption and the health of consumers is compromised.” Amandeep Dhillon - Partner
