Middlesbrough factory Café Class Ltd extended the use-by dates of boiled eggs, cheddar cheese and streaky bacon, in ‘listeria outbreak risk’
A factory has been ordered to stop making food after it put uncooked sausages into pre-packed sandwiches.
The Middlesbrough-based factory has been told by health authorities it risked causing a listeria outbreak.
Café Class Ltd has been served with a hygiene emergency prohibition order for food safety practices that posed an “immediate danger to human health”.
A court this week heard how the company extended the use-by dates of boiled eggs, cheddar cheese and streaky bacon, putting consumers’ health at risk.
The risk to the public was so severe that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an immediate product recall on sandwiches, wraps and salads made by the company.
