FSA safety warning over food from packaging company
CUSTOMERS are being warned not to eat a number of food products – mainly frozen fish and chicken – supplied by Blackpool-based MDA Products Ltd to stores including Home Bargains.
The Food Standards Agency says the products have been repackaged in unapproved premises and are therefore potentially unsafe.
The products are also the subject of a number of labelling and traceability contraventions. They may have ‘best before’ or ‘use by’ dates that have been extended beyond those set by the manufacturers and without authorisation.
They are not compliant with food law requirements and should be withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers.
“Despite investigations by the enforcement authorities, it has not been possible to obtain the full distribution details or product traceability record for these products,” an FSA statement said.
Some of the products known to be affected are:
• Four Cod Fillets wrapped in crunchy golden breadcrumbs, 480g
• Lytham Fish Co. Basa Fillets, 800g
• Lytham Fish Co. 100% White Fish Fillet Burgers, 4 pack, 460g
• Tasty Chicken Co. Chicken Fillets in Tomato and Herb Marinade 400g
• Alaskan Pollock Fillets, wrapped in crunchy golden breadcrumbs, 500g
• Lytham Fish Co. 16 Seafood Sticks, 200g
• Three Chicken and Spinach Escalopes
• Breaded Hake Goujons, 500g
• Cod Bites, 500g
• Cod Fillets 500g
• Panga White Fish Fillets, 1kg
These products are known to have been supplied by MDA Products Ltd, through all stores of the following retail chains (a list of all stores is available on request):
• Frozen Value Ltd. t/a Fultons Foods and Jack Fultons
