Damning film prompts food recall

SUPERMARKET chain Iceland has withdrawn a range of Indian pre-prepared food from its Irish outlets after an investigation by ITV found unhygienic practices at a supplier’s food production plant.

The British retailer yesterday confirmed that a six-pack onion bhaji product made by UK firm Perkins had been withdrawn as a precaution.

The investigation, aired on ITV’s Tonight with Trevor McDonald this week, led Iceland to remove thousands of packets of Perkins Premier Nuggets from the shelves of their English outlets after secret filming at a supplier’s plant revealed poor hygiene practices.
