Recall of Scotch Eggs due to Salmonella contamination
The United Kingdom Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced a product recall for Wall’s The Classic Scotch Egg (113g) and Wall’s 2 Classic Scotch Eggs (226g), manufactured by The Compleat Food Group, due to concerns over Salmonella contamination.
According to the FSA, these products have been voluntarily withdrawn by the producer following the detection of the pathogen, which poses a risk of foodborne illness if consumed.
Scotch eggs are a traditional British delicacy consisting of a soft- or hard-boiled egg wrapped in seasoned sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and typically deep-fried or baked until crisp and golden.
This recall coincides with recent data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), indicating that foodborne illnesses have surged to their highest levels in a decade across England.
