AMKO Foods recalls Pork Dripping with Jelly

17 Apr 2015 04:25 PM

AMKO Foods has recalled all packs of its Pork Dripping with Jelly because the manufacturer has not carried out appropriate shelf-life analysis.

The ‘best before’ dates on the product may not be correct. The product is also not labelled with appropriate storage instructions to show that it should be chilled. The FSA has issued a Product Recall Information Notice.

Product details

The recalled product is:

Product: Pork Dripping with Jelly
Brand: AMKO
Pack size: 250g
‘Best before’ end: all dates

If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought.

AMKO Foods has started a recall of the product. Point-of-sale notices will be sent to retail customers that bought the product, for them to display in store. These notices will tell consumers what actions to take if they have bought the product.

About product recalls and withdrawals

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
