On August 21, the Food Standards Agency is advising consumers not to eat several pork scratching products purchased since February, which have been linked to salmonella poisoning.From September 2020 to August 21, 176 reported cases of salmonella poisoning have been reported across the UK.

Production was voluntarily halted at the factory linked to the outbreak once a possible link was first identified earlier this month.
