Calls for clarity over cheese E.coli risk
Pressure is mounting on Food Standards Scotland to clarify the risks posed by cheeses at the centre of an E.coli outbreak which killed a three year old child and left 19 other people suffering from the illness.Statements issued by the agency have previously revealed that tests have found that the cheese, Dunsyre Blue, "may contain" E.Coli 0157 bacteria, but have refused to confirm whether the bug has actually been found in the product.Symptoms can develop up to two weeks after someone has ingested the bacteria, which can cause stomach cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting and fever.

A food watchdog has issued a blanket ban on the sale of all cheese from a Scottish producer linked to an E.coli outbreak which led to the death of a child.Food Standards Scotland (FSS) said the outbreak, in which 20 people were infected including a three-year-old Dunbartonshire girl who died, is being linked to new cases of the infection in Angus.The organisation is calling for all cheese produced by Errington Cheese, of Carnwath, South Lanarkshire, to be withdrawn from sale, saying E.coli was found in the cheese.
