UK – Mrs Kirkham’s cheese says tests show no trace of E. coli

BBC

A cheese producer that recalled products after a possible E. coli risk has said tests on 60 batches have shown no evidence of the bacteria.

Four types of Mrs Kirkham’s cheese were withdrawn in December as part of an investigation into cases involving a lesser-known strain of E. coli.

The Lancashire-based company said it had undergone a full dairy inspection.

An investigation to identify the cause of the outbreak by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) continues.

In a statement, Mrs Kirkham’s said the Preston company “closely follow controls to eliminate pathogen contamination and growth”.
