Food News | Muscle Food Recall Meat Following Inspection | Andover & VillagesThe decision to recall was taken by Muscle Food, following an unannounced inspection by the FSA of their supplier, DB Foods.

The Food Standards Agency had concerns about procedures at DB Foods for use-by dates on some products that were not compliant with legal requirements.

Muscle Food supplies meat products via its website directly to the public and the business is contacting all of its affected customers to make them aware of the recall.

People who have bought these products are advised not to eat them.

Muscle Food will arrange a courier to pick the products up, and provide a full refund for the items.

There is no indication that people have become ill from eating meat supplied by DB Foods. The FSA are continuing to investigate their procedures along with local authorities and further action will be taken if necessary.

The recall of the affected products is a proportionate response to the issues found. There is no evidence of wider problems across DB Foods sites and no further action that would affect the business has been necessary. Distribution from their sites is continuing and is being overseen by FSA staff.
The FSA and FSS have already announced a review of cutting plants and cold stores following separate investigations into the meat sector. Further details of the review will be published later this month and the results will be fully available to the public.

The FSA continue to engage regularly with industry associations and to make clear the responsibility their members have to produce meat according to the regulations.

Good morning, rain on the windows, but not looked at the forecast yet.

Had a lovely time at the birthday lunch yesterday, then managed a walk with the dog before the rain came, woke me up a little after being indoors sat being idle. Market visit to be made as usual on Fridays, have quite a long list to do, then need to start on the chores which have been building up again, it seems to be one step forward and two back all the time.

Hugs and spoons, have a good day all.

Good morning chums, and a very wet Kent this morning, with even more due later I believe.

Still its Friday, so a tidy is on the agenda for me this morning, and after lunch I will be off to History Club which is always a lovely end to the week as we all have so much fun there with lots of cake ,coffee and laughter plus a good amount of knowledge.

I too am eating my way through the freezer, and it really is amazing how much stuff is in there that has been forgotten, I had a delicious HM shepards pie last night for dinner, which I had mashed the spuds with parmesan cheese before Christmas, and it was very moreish:). I shall do that recipe again methinks Its like mining for gold in my freezer

Tonight though I shall be using one of my pub chain birthday vouchers on the way home for my freebie dinner saves me cooking, and it will be nice to sit down and be served dinner and no washing up to do afterwards.I have two of them to use up before the 15th February so the second one I will use probably one night next week.

My eldest DD and her OH are flying out to NYC this afternoon to see my DGS Danny and his wife for a week so I hope the weather isn't too cold for them.

On Sunday my youngest and I are going to my DGD's Katie's baby shower that her friend has organised in a local hotel.
I think we get tea and nibbles as well there. I have bought her a few things from her baby list so hopefully she will be pleased with them.

Last night my youngest DGD Holly and her b/f arrived with a couple of late birthday presents, a gorgeous blue orchid in a very nice pot, and a 1000 piece jigsaw of NYC to keep me happy and busy
She knows I have a passion for jigsaws

Nice chat with her and she also brought me a really nice large poster that the children in her year two class had made, covered with notes and hand drawn pictures saying 'Thank You'.
I had donated all my crafting stuff when I had a clear out to DGD's class at her primary school, and the children were all really pleased with everything.
Apparently on Friday afternoons 'Miss' gets all of her Grannies crafting stuff out of the cupboard, and the children all have a great time making things.

I am so pleased that its gone to a good home rather than being just tipped There were two huge Bags for Life full of stuff I had collected over a couple of years back when I did crafting , but now just didn't use much at all (no time ) Holly said the children love all of the stamps and glittery things and glueing etc.She is going to get them to make Mother's Day cards next month as well.

Right, time is getting on and so must I.

Hope you all have a good Friday and keep warm and dry if you can

Cheers chums

Hi all :wave:

Feeling a bit sorry for myself today ...thick head and a bit nauseous entirely self inflicted of course not sure how i thought 3 glasses of wine (large) made sense after nearly 2 months off drinking. Anyway had a lovely meal with 2 of my friends ...sea bass and a lobster and prosecco sauce ...so tasty we were there most of the afternoon and properly sorted all the worlds problems out

The hip education session was a bit of a waste of time nothing different from my last one just hope it happens soon now getting so sick of this lack of mobility.

Need to nip and get some pittas and a bit of salady stuff. no wine for me though need to recoup with lots of tea and cordial
For dinner Im having HM doner kebabs with all the trimmings ..seems appropriate after my wine fest cooking it in the slow cooker today for a change not totally convinced at the moment but hoping it comes out OK

Been enjoying the winter olympic opening ceremony in the background today looking forward to watching the events what a beautiful venue.

Holly I dread to think how long I could live out of my freezer but I suspect it would be a lot of months ...I have been stocking up ready for when i have my op but thinking about it there was no real need as I could have daily online shopping deliveries if I wanted to and a hotline to dominoes of course, so its just an excuse to do more of my favourite activity...cooking. Do need to give my head a wobble though as both freezers are now stacko
nanny hope you are feeling better lovely ...cant have you missing sunday lunch with Dad that would not please him

oh yes meant to ask why do some people offer hugs and spoons ? I get hugs but not spoons.....why would I want more sppons? I have loads if you count teaspoons and dessert spoons oh and wooden spoons I have a few of too. I did google but could only find links to cutlery sets from amazon ans a list of all the nearest wetherspoons :rotfl:

Off to nurse my head then hit Asda.Have a great day all and teaspoons all round xx

LameWolf - It probably was your doing that I first read of the spoons theory, but not sure. It made so much sense to a way of life that I was struggling to understand and certainly not ready to accept at that time.

Now I will stand up and state that my problems are nowhere near as severe as yours and others, but I now seem to have acquired 4 chronic and often painful and debilitating conditions and that for most of the time the worst thing for me is the utter fatigue and the inability to pace myself or make plans.

So Nelski, you will often find me offering spoons and if I could send some your way and help with the pain I would willingly do so, (not sure if you dear ladies need a particular type of spoon for dealing with awkward oldies though:rotfl:
