UK Food Scare - Products Recalled

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? :blink:

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

Dehydrate it :blink:

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 :P

Final post.

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

It's started affecting you already.

Have you had lamb recently? :ohmy:

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

:shuriken:

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.
