Macsween of Edinburgh Ltd has recalled a number of its products, including one gluten free product with the Crossed Grain symbol, as a precautionary measure, because of concerns over the company’s procedures in place to control Clostridium botulinum.

Risk

Manufacturing controls that could potentially affect the safety of the products could not be demonstrated satisfactorily by the manufacturer.

The issue relates to controlling factors to prevent the growth and toxin production of Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin may cause a serious form of food poisoning called botulism and can be fatal.  A recall from customers is being carried out as a precautionary measure.
