According to the Cheddar Valley Gazette, cheese from Bridgwater Butchers has been seized and destroyed as a result of a routine food hygiene inspection carried out by Sedgemoor District Council Environmental Health staff on January 15.
Environmental health staff discovered that cheese from A I Foster’s, in St Marys Street, Bridgwater was being vacuum-packed on the same equipment as raw meat before being displayed for sale.
Due to the risk of the cheese being contaminated with E. coli O157 the cheese was seized.
