Star Foods recalls own-brand herbed/spiced chicken, chicken roll/chicken breast and smoked mackerel and peppered mackerel

Friday 22 August 2008

Food Alert: for Information

Ref: 44/2008

Star Foods has recalled its own brand of Herbed/Spiced Chicken, Chicken Roll/Chicken Breast, Smoked Mackerel and Peppered Mackerel in various sizes, due to an extended use-by date being given. There also appears to be a problem with incorrect vacuum packing of the Smoked Mackerel and Peppered Mackerel products, which has caused some packs to blow.

Star Foods has recalled the affected products and has issued point of sale notices to be displayed in the stores. These notices will advise customers of the actions they can take if they have already purchased the affected products. The products have been distributed only in the South East region of the UK.
