TWO food safety recalls have been issued for poultry
products in the past fortnight.
The unrelated recalls are for certain batches of Bernard
Matthews Turkey Dinosaurs and some Birds Eye wholegrain chicken nuggets.
Bernard Matthews’ recall was because of the possibility of
metal pieces in the product – considered a serious food safety breach under EU
rules. An alert was issued on Europe’s Rapid Food and Feed Safety Alert system.
The company wrote in a statement: “Please be informed that
we are initiating a recall on the ‘Bernard Matthews Turkey Dinosaurs’ due to
the potential presence of small pieces of metal. “We apologise for the
inconvenience that this may cause you.”
Birds Eye said a small number of chicken nugget packages
could contain small pieces of clear plastic. It issued a recall for four
batches of the product with the best before date October 2020.
