Heads of Environmental Health Services and Directors of Trading Standards will wish to be aware of the attached Food Hazard Warning issued today by Food Standards Agency Scotland.

With regard to distribution outside of Scotland, those Local Authorities known, or suspected, to have food businesses in their area who may have received these products have already been contacted by the Food Standards Agency.

However, further investigations into possible wider distribution are continuing and Local Authorities will be updated as necessary.

Other than those Local Authorities already contacted by the Food Standards Agency, no further action is being requested of other Local Authorities at this time.
