Why it was recalled

The FSA's risk statement:

As these products were not prepared in line with food safety and hygiene legislative requirements, they may be unsafe.

Details from the notice

Meat products (predominantly lamb, goat, veal, beef), of all meat species, supplied by an unregistered and unapproved Wiltshire based vendor have not been produced in accordance with food safety and hygiene legislative requirements.

These products are not compliant with food hygiene, safety, labelling and traceability requirements and are deemed unsafe. They should not be consumed.

We have asked enforcement authorities to contact premises in their local areas who may receive the affected products to ensure that they are withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers.

A Food Alert for Action asks local authorities and businesses to take specific action, usually because the problem is serious or widespread.

Where it was sold

The FSA lists this alert for: England.
