Irish Republic recalls all pork
All pork products made in the Irish Republic since September have been recalled over fears they are contaminated with a toxic substance.
The action was taken after dioxins were found in slaughtered pigs thought to have eaten contaminated feed.
Tests showed some pork products contained up to 200 times more dioxins than the recognised safety limit.
The UK's Food Standards Agency said it did not believe at this stage that UK consumers faced any "significant risk".
Banned substance
A spokesman said the agency was awaiting confirmation from the Irish authorities as to whether any of the affected products had been exported to the UK.
He said they would assess the situation and take any action required to protect UK consumers.
