FSA says meat from Kent cutting plant “may be unsafe”
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced that products supplied by a Kent cutting plant should be removed from the market because of “food safety concerns”.
The Block and Cleaver cutting plant in Swanley, Kent, has supplied its products to food businesses across London and the South East of England.
The FSA said that meat and meat products manufactured by Block and Cleaver may not have been produced in accordance with GB food law requirements and “therefore may be unsafe”.
Recalled products include a range of chicken, beef and pork meat and meat products.
A statement made by the FSA said: “These products which have been supplied to food businesses in London and the South East of England may not have been produced in accordance with GB food law requirements and therefore may be unsafe.
“These products may have incorrect use by dates, are subject to traceability breaches, may not have been manufactured in accordance with food safety management systems and may be unsafe. They should not be eaten.”
It asked food businesses to withdraw Block and Cleaver meat products from sale as they may be “unsafe to eat”, and highlighted that those who have sold meat or meat products at retail should “undertake product recalls and inform their Local Authority”, who are in turn requested to inform the FSA.
