As a result of an epidemic of Typhoid fever in Aberdeen, which was thought to be
associated with cold cooked meat including corned beef, it was considered advisable,
as a precautionary measure only, to hold back 61b. tins of corned beef processed
within certain dates and bearing specified marks. It was found that in three cases
only tins of this size and bearing the specified mark were in stock and upon return
of these to the supplier no further action was found necessary.
