Another meat recall in Norway
Norwegian meat producer Gilde was back in the news on Tuesday, after announcing that it had to recall 4.6 tons of summer ham.Gilde is recalling its traditional Sommerskinke after finding pieces of metal clips in the ham.
"Internal controls revealed small pieces of metal clips on the surface of the ham," Gilde announced in a press statement. The metal clips, it says, are used to fasten the netting around the pre-cooked ham.
Consumers were being urged to return the hams to stores. Hams affected are those with production number 120 and LOT-numbers 7183, 7184, or 7185.
Gilde officials apologized for the inconvenience to both consumers and the retail stores involved.
Nina Sundqvist, communications director for Gilde's parent company Nortura, said the company will now evaluate whether to phase out use of the metal clips.
Gilde has been caught in a series of meat scandals during the past few years, including one involving E-coli bacteria.
