Fino Olive Oil is recalling all bottles of six varieties of its infused olive oil as a precautionary measure. This is because the effectiveness of process controls that could potentially affect the safety of infused olive oil products produced by the company cannot be demonstrated satisfactorily. The FSA has issued a Product Recall Information Notice.
The issue relates to controlling factors to prevent the growth and toxin production of Clostridium botulinum. This may cause a serious form of food poisoning called botulism. Therefore, a recall from customers is being carried out as a precautionary measure.
