Further to Current note 49/4001 (at http://www.hps.scot.nhs.uk/ewr/redirect.aspx?id=65483), as at 12 October 2015, all cases had either consumed products (steaks, grillsteaks, sausages and meatballs) which had been purchased raw from a wide range of outlets and cooked at home or were fellow household members and likely to be secondary cases. The products had been produced by the company Highland Game and had use-by dates ranging from 4 September to 1 October.
As these use-by dates have passed, products will no longer be on sale, but consumers may have products in their freezers at home. These products should not present a risk to health if they are handled and cooked properly. For advice on handling and cooking of meat and meat products, please refer to the FSS website at http://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/food-safety-standards/food-safety-hygiene.
