    Of various products I thought might possibly be affected, none are on the list.
    Then I find that one I would not have suspected is on it.

    How can you have Worcestershire sauce in a powdered product?

    BTW, it looks like some of the raw product may have been shipped to the US and Canada too. Enjoy your meal.

    Dehydrate it

    Probable reply:


    But then it's not Worcestershire Sauce anymore.

    Likely counter:

    Well, a Pot Noodle is a Pot Noodle whether it's hydrated or not, I offer that the same is true of Worcestershire Sauce.

    Presumed retort:

    I disagree. The very nature of a sauce infers viscosity, thus it could not be a powder.

    Considered rebuttal:

    That's fine except the mere concept of a noodle inplies it in it's natural state, i.e. hydrated - yet it's fine for people to consider them in either state.

    I put to you that the state of a product - whether hydrated or not - matters little in terms of it's definition.

    Predicted riposte

    Meh, whatever

    Final post.

    Sorry about that. I'm a bit bored and no-one's around to argue with

    It's started affecting you already.

    Have you had lamb recently?

    Nothing I've bought is affected by it. The Worcestershire sauce I have is Lee & Perrins.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I've found out I made a mistake.

    The faulty product was Crosse & Blackwell Worcester Sauce made by Premier Foods.

    Worcestershire Sauce is indeed made by Lee & Perrin and is not affected, although I'm pretty sure the fallout from this will have a devastating impact on their sales, at least in the short term.
