food safety

The item I saw was definitely an ENGLISH midlands factory and it involved meat of all types, not just chicken and include processed meat because it mention meat used in sandwiches.

The news item I saw was front page Daily Telegraph. I read it on the BBC news where they show the front pages of all the national dailies.

Nope - I've read further, and the Offaly firm has been struck by Covid and is stopping production for that reason.

If I get arrested for "legal reasons" for posting this, I hope someone will stand me bail.

That was in 2017, by the way. No longer hot news, but perhaps it is to Health1Fitness2 or he/she is in NI

The current "Telegraph" item is in the BELFAST Telegraph, and refers to a meat factory in Offaly.

Stacks of meat processing firms are closing for financial reasons, so some employees were cutting corners. Firm was shocked to discover this, of course.

It took me only two minutes Googling to find this news item in the Guardian. Chicken production at West Midlands plant suspended I've changed the headline slightly so as not to broadcast the name of the firm across the globe - but the G has already done so.

I stopped searching once this came up, but it may not be the one referred to. There may be others.

There are 118 midlands meat factories listed on Google.

Good idea M0nica. I wonder if the ‘cannot be disclosed for legal reasons’ could affect posting on here. Workers in those food depts who had to check all the foods would also know. I wonder if they were warned off too.

Lets make use of this thread. It is about food safety,

The front page of the Daily Telegraph today had a big report about a major meat processing company in the Midlands, now closed) that may has been incorporating rotten meat and meat that had been dropped on the floor into its products for several decades.

It was a major supplier to several supermarket chains, plus caterers and food manufacturers and its products were sold as raw meat and incorporated into sandwiches and other fresh food products.

No name was given for the company. Anyone living in the midlands had a big meat processing plaant near them close down recently?

Thanks for that Meryl......I had obviously missed previous posts.

Considering the OP's user name, could this be a marketing scam?

Just asking, don't shoot me!

No. This poster has posted weird food/ health posts before.

I'm pretty sure it is. Just an excuse to advertise some or other nonsense, no doubt.

Just asking, don't shoot me!

'unsafe' in what sense? Likely to give me food poisoning? Nutritionally unsafe (UPFs)? Nutritionally unsafe (poor diet)? Poor food safety on the farm or in transporting, processing, storage? Food grown in a way that endangers the planet?

OP unless we know what aspect of food safety bothers you, we cannot offfer any opinions.

I think you need to get out more if this is worrying you.

Dh thought we’d drunk all the wine on Sunday …. But we hadn’t! So we retrieved the bottle from the bin, and drank it.
Bin wine, perfectly safe

Never so far. I do read labels and also rely on strong sense of taste and smell.

No.

At 2, my grandson wouldn't eat his dinner 'Is disgusting' but was happy to lick the toilet. He's still here.

There's that saying 'You eat a ton of dirt before you die' - not that I'm worried - and we probably need the minerals!

Well, I left some chicken casserole out on the side overnight (not much thank goodness)

Do you think it's safe to eat, OP?
We never had fridges when I was a girl.

Well, I'm still here, so: no.

Do you ever think that the food you eat is not safe?

No. From week to week we get told that different foods are good for you/bad for you. We hear that additives are bad for you but chemically produced foods are good for you, but not safe?
Please elucidate H1F2

Fishing post.

I wonder if this thread is leading to some sort of recommendation/website. An odd OP.

Yes, there is a Twitter user with the same name who gives health and fitness tips “for girls” and probably sells supplements too.
