Botulism ban on Duke’s paté
CHATSWORTH House doubled as Pemberley in the Pride & Prejudice film starring Keira Knightley. But now the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire’s ancestral seat has a less savoury claim to fame.
Its farm shop has recalled nine paté and rillette products this week, due to concerns over the manufacturer’s procedures to control Clostridium botulinum bacteria.
Botulinum toxins cause a serious form of food poisoning called botulism, which can prove fatal.
A Chatsworth spokesman says: ‘These products will not return to sale until we are confident . . . [they] are safe to eat.’
