Pork scratchings products recall including some "Mr Porkys" products

QuoteThe Food Standards Agency are advising consumers not to eat several pork scratching products purchased since February, which have been linked to salmonella poisoning.

Testing has found a link to 176 reported cases of salmonella poisoning across the UK between September 2020 and the present date.

All products manufactured since February at one of the factories that manufacture the products linked to the outbreak, Site approval ID: GB BO 001, have been recalled and withdrawn from sale.

Full details of the brands affected by Tayto Group Ltd's precautionary recall can be found in the product recall information notice. These include some Mr Porky, Jay's and The Real Pork Crackling Company products

To reduce the risk of any further illness, consumers should not eat the products listed in the recall alert and they should follow the health advice within it.

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

Symptoms of salmonellosis typically resolve themselves and include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever. However, symptoms can be more severe and lead to hospitalisation, especially in the very young and those with weakened immune systems.

You can see the list of products affected here: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-47-2021

It's been over a decade since I've had any pork scratchings - I know they used to be very popular in pubs.

Does anyone eat pork scratchings on here?

I buy Pork Sratchings knowing full well I'm taking a risk, thank you very much.

It's the thrill isn't it? Why let some jumped-up health police take away the thrill ride of consuming a debauched pork product?

I had a bag of the Mr Porky's Crispy Strips last week that were probably affected, according to that list. and I'm not dead yet. I'm a bit worried that I may be experiencing some of the symptoms Shoulders has listed though.

I wimp out and eat Frazzles every time now. Nothing worse than spitting out bits of filling and rotten tooth (and peppered alveoli), and Frazzles are only 39p. ⭐️ 3 for £1 ⭐️

The Crispy Strips are very similar to Frazzles - it's deep fried, thin strips of crackling, as opposed to straight off the carcass lumps of flesh with the hair follicles and subcutaneous fat still attached.

Why don't we find Mr Porky, track him down to his sweaty ill-gotten palazzo and have him? All of us could take him, easy. Tool up.

His scratching days are numbered, get it, scratching like the scratchings food stuff. Cheers.

pork scratchings are my go to bar snack, perfect accompaniment to any pint. I had some Mr Porky's last week from Asda and have shat myself inside out yet.

When I was 18 a friend swore that 'cooking' his toenails on a light bulb and eating them tasted just like a pork scratching. He went on to star in 24/7 with Bob Hoskins and then became some twatty artist so might be worth a try?

Got a job lot of Mr Porky Original Scratchings from Aldi in May and had a bag a day up to a couple of weeks ago. However, alcohol abuse mitigates most of S?S's conditions above, and my bollocks are never nice under normal conditions anyway.

Luckily it looks like my favourite brand, Midland Snacks, is not affected.

Does that cause the recipient to have sex with 12 year olds in 1967?

The recipient would be lucky to have sex with a Fleshlight after an ugly dose of mid-par bollock.

Has a Mr G Linehan been on the pork scratchings lately?

Buying Mr Porky's is like buying Colgate Lasagne, you get what you deserve.

I go for the Real Pork Cracking Company's products every time. Gourmet pork scratchings, and you get your dose of filth from having to buy them in Poundland or B&M.

Real Pork Crackling Company is also effected according to the link. So yeah, no dodging salmonella there.

I'm eating Gruntled Salt and Vinegar at the moment. So good not even listened on their website: http://getgruntled.co.uk/ . I can confirm they exist and put even salt and vinegar crisps to shame. Don't think they're vegan though sadly.

They are just another of Tayto NI's brands and are made in the same factory (the former Red Mill Snacks site in Westhoughton near Bolton) as the Mr. Porkys and Jays lines that have been affected. The RPCC Pork Crunch line is one of the ones being withdrawn due to the salmonella contamination

Edit: what Consignia said, though RPCC do have two product lines - the Crispy Crackling line is presumably still made at thier original Tamworth site.

Yeah, that Golden Crunch stuff is like a weird reformed potato snack. Crispy Crackling is 5x15g packets of pure gold.

Pork scratchings are the drug, Crispy Crackling is my crack, and my lips are welded firmly to the pipe...

I love how they call them "Real" Pork Crackling, as if there are brands of so-called pork crackling that are just sawdust and jizz.

The RPCC Golden Grunch is almost identical to the Mr Porky's Crispy Strips. There's no potato involved though - it's pork rind that's been boiled, had the fat scraped off and then deep fried to make it 'puff'.

That's the name of the company. Their two product lines (Crispy Crackling and Golden Crunch) are also sold under the Real Pork Company name in Asda, Sainsburys and Morrisons (presumably the word 'crackling' was considered too downmarket for thier customer base - it's fine for Home & Bargain, B&M, Heron and Poundland though).

How are people supposed to tell the difference with the normal diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever that you get from eating pork scratchings without the salmonella?

I always thought it was Doggy Scabs, which sounds funnier to me, so I'm sticking with it.

(Oh, and don't forget the Hedgehog Stuffings.)

Mr. Porky's are very much the Carling of the the scratching world, ubiquitous and a bit shit.
