UK-FSA – The OOO Company recalls all varieties of its Infused Oils and vacuum-packed Halloumi Cheese

FSA

The OOO Company recalls all varieties of its Infused Oils and vacuum-packed Halloumi Cheese because of concerns over its procedures in place to control Clostridium botulinum.

The effectiveness of process controls that could potentially affect the safety of these products cannot 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. Although no trace of the toxin has been found in products tested, a recall from customers is being carried out as a precautionary measure.

The OOO Company is recalling the above products. The company has contacted its customers that were supplied with the Halloumi cheese. However, the Infused oils have only been sold at farmers markets in East Anglia.  A point-of-sale notice will be displayed by businesses selling these products and a notice will be placed on the company’s website. This notice alerts customers to the recall and advises them of what actions to take if they have bought the product(s). A copy of the point-of-sale notice is attached to this alert.
