Listen Up National frozen veg recall

Heads up guys - check your weekly frozen veg purchases against this long list:

Greenyard Frozen UK Ltd recalls various frozen vegetable products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes

 

[Lazarus]

Whoops!

Presumably proper cooking would mitigate the risk.

Edit: Yep. Confirmed by Google, so it must be true .....

Went to the Food Standards Agency site found that one & a few more that did surprise me,

FOOD ALERT
Aldi, Asda, Tesco and Waitrose recall their own brand Soy / Soya Sauce because they may contain small glass fragments

Red Star Brands recalls Fulfil White Chocolate Bars because they may contain small pieces of clear plastic.

BBC 20 min ago Frozen veg recalled over bacteria fears

 

[PaulR]

Fresh is best I always say.

Graveyard Frozen UK, based in King's Lynn, Norfolk, has been approached for comment.

 

[Ghostleader]

No frozen sprouts on the list, and did anyone else notice there was no Farmfoods branded stuff? Must be a different supplier for their stuff obviously.

..... or the batch runs were done at a different time .....

True, I always add frozen vegetables to boiled water from the kettle and I like my veg soft (i.e. cooked! lol)

 

[Lazarus]

Quite. This is only a problem for those who won't cook, can't cook

Don't often buy frozen veg. Last time was frozen Broccoli. Tried it once; chucked the rest!!!

 

[PaulR]

Couldn't agree more. There's a strange taste or texture about most frozen vegetables.

When I was young, we didn't have a 'fridge. Nor did most people then. Daily shopping, flypapers to protect the perishables in the larder. First saw a 'fridge at my aunt's, and a freezer was a little compartment inside it, which had a packet of peas and a little tray of ice cubes inside. Exotic

 

[PaulR]

For many years my father's mother didn't have a fridge. Instead she kept milk and other perishables in a food safe which was just a standalone wooden cupboard with walls made of perforated zinc.

The safe was kept in the coolest part of the larder. Milk was bought daily (of course!) and would usually last until deliveries the next morning. Fruit and veg were a daily or every-other-day visit to the shops.

I remember seeing my Father get a limp lettuce out of the Larder then placing it in a bowl of water with a lump of coal within 20 min the Lettuce was crisp & looked fresh God only knows what we used to eat in them days ?

 

[PaulR]

I don't know what the coal was for (luck?) but I sometimes pop a head of broccoli into a glass of water to restore it.

Pretty much how our larder was, kept cool with airbricks in outer wall.

First pro job was in a test lab with SFA ventilation and so got very hot in Summer. Kept a bottle of squash cool by puting it in the aircon vent of the small screened room
