ALL Irish Pork being recalled!

Damomanye

http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/1206/agriculture.html

The Food Safety Authority has ordered the withdrawal and recall of all Irish pork products dating back to 1 September.

It follows the discovery of the dioxin PCB in pork at levels between 80 and 200 times the safe limits.

The public have been advised to destroy all pork products
purchased since September.

:eek:

At least we can still eat beef, chicken, fish, ham and bacon. It's only pork that's affected right?

Joke?

any pig product is affected. so that means bacon, ham, pork, rashers, sausages, chops, pudding, cold meats also. also means ham on pizzas etc....

But if you can't put all that between two slices of pork, what's the point in living any more????

Mr. Incognito

Hold on this feed was used at beef farms too

ontaminated feed was used at a total of 47 farms.

Nine of these were pork producing farms. The remaining 38 were beef farms, with one of those also producing pork products.

MORE in fact.

Looks like we're all veggies for xmas

Ack, since the end of october I've had at least one sausage and rasher breakfast per week, before that I hardly ever ate them! I also eat loads of ham

Maybe a daft question. The public are being asked to destroy what they bought.

So if I bought 30 euro worth of unfit pork in Tesco, I destroy it and have no refund from the retailers?

So it's tough luck for the consumer?

I've read the RTE article and don't see any advice for consumers at all.

Ok, it's not the stores fault directly but I reckon a refund is due, they have professional buyers and have to store the pork in certain ways and they better be doing some sort of checks if they are buying thousands of kg of pork from some factory

What i want to know is why the government, who found out last Monday, waited a week to tell us - I had plenty of pork since Monday last. :mad:

Six days more profit?

Sharpshooter

Telling the public to destroy all pork bought since September is laughable.
Anytime l have bought pork it is used for dinner that day
or the next. Rarely would l freeze it.:(
l didn't see what part of the country these farm's are in .
Does anyone know?

Yeah I was trying to set up the Simpsons bit where Homer doesn't believe bacon, ham and pork chops all come from the same animal but there were no takers.

I'll take my chances.

any supermarket with any common sense will give full refunds, it wouldnt be worth it to lose a customer's entire christmas shop over a few quid worth of bacon that they can in turn claim back off their suppliers

Just read out that news report to my in-laws. All they did was laugh and said it's ballacks! Oh well. They all had roast pork last night. I didn't.

This is why being a vegetarian is great, don't have to worry (as much) about being poisoned.

Just the drudgery of leaves and tofu to worry about.

This is one of those times when I really hate this country.

Let me get this straight- this substance has been contaminating pork since feckin' September? It's Christmas now, ffs!

And they've known of it for a whole week before saying anything?!

Idiots. A trained monkey could do a better job than the government.

I'm not a vegan, there's nothing in meat you can't get from drinking milk and eating potatoes, bread, cabbage, eggs, etc.
