One dead following cheese recall over E. coli

A person in Scotland has died from E. coli, following an outbreak of the bacterial infection in the UK linked to cheese.

Health experts warned a few days ago that some products in the Mrs Kirkham's range might be contaminated and should be recalled as a precaution.

It is not clear yet whether the death was caused by food.

Mrs Kirkham's said it had withdrawn its cheese from the market and urged customers to follow official advice.

Officials say investigations are continuing into any common links between cases and the recalled cheeses.
