J & K Smokery Ltd recalls all batches and date codes of its vacuum packed smoked fish due to concerns over its procedures in place to control Clostridium botulinum - See more at: http://www.food.gov.uk/enforcement/alerts/2015/14216/j-k-smokery-ltd-recalls-smoked-fish#sthash.OCtIYiTw.dpuf

The effectiveness of process controls that could potentially affect the safety of vacuum packed smoked fish produced by J & K Smokery Ltd cannot be demonstrated satisfactorily. 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. Although no trace of the toxin has been found in products tested, a recall from customers is being carried out as a precautionary measure. -
