The Paxton & Whitfield-branded Pots of Pork have been withdrawn as there are concerns over procedures in place to control clostridium botulinum. The recall relates to the same one that Cornish Charcuterie issued on Tuesday, 15 August.
Measures to prevent the growth and toxin production of clostridium botulinum were not deemed satisfactory. The botulinum toxin can lead to a serious form of food poisoning that can be fatal, according to the Food Standards Agency.
