The possible presence of mould makes the products unsafe to eat.
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.

More patients are being identified by investigators working on an E. coli O157 outbreak that has been limited to Washington State. However, today Arizona officials confirmed there is a child in that state with an infection from the same strain of the pathogen.
There are 11 confirmed patients in Washington in the outbreak linked to locally produced organic yogurt sold by Pure Eire Dairy. Another three probable patients are from the Moses Lake area in Grant County, WA. Teresa McCallion of the Washington Department of Health said it is not unusual for counties and local health departments to know of probable cases before they are added to the state’s tally.
“We only report confirmed cases,” McCallion told Food Safety News on Wednesday evening. The Washington Health Department is working on a special outbreak information web page, which McCallion said should be available soon.

Presence of histamine
People who may have this product are asked not to consume it and to return it to the point of sale where it was purchased.
Histamine poisoning is manifested by allergic-type reactions triggered when histamine is absorbed in high amounts. The symptoms most often encountered are: facial-cervical redness, rash, itching, tingling of the skin. They are generally followed by neurological disorders: headache, heart palpitations, dizziness. Secondary symptoms, of a gastrointestinal nature, may appear: nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea. Symptoms appear immediately or several hours after ingestion of food. They normally disappear within a few hours, but can exceptionally last for several days. In rare cases (high doses of histamine and sensitivity of the subject), the allergic reaction can then go up to histamine shock.
If you think you are having symptoms of histamine poisoning, seek medical advice immediately.
