Traces of faeces in Ikea desserts

Ravelleman

The Shanghai Daily is reporting that traces of faecal bacteria have been found in Ikea chocolate desserts, imported to China from Sweden.

Faecal bacteria found in Ikea chocolate cakes

Don't know if this will turn into a big thing as well but it certainly looks like a real case of having your cake and eating it. A second time.

What a load of horse sh1t.

There's probably traces of faecal bacteria on everything you eat. And touch.

Yeah I'd say that's true.

****e = dark chocolate = IKEA

Human intestinal waste?? I could understand if a rat or something else contaminated a shipment but I just can't imagine Swedish bakers sh*tting all over the cake.

I always said IKEA food was a load of ****e

This thing of outsourcing everything to an ever smaller group of suppliers is coming home to roost. How many other products from this supplier are contaminated? Theres a sh1tstorm on the way!

Bollox there is. Hands get washed dried and anti-bacterial (alcohol ) rub is used to sterilise hands in all? food factories over here.


People get sacked for this kind of thing. Companies go to the wall if they get caught out.

News flash, there's poo on your toothbrush!

Whether or not these 'high levels' go above the standard has yet to be established.

So basically you have to build your own dessert? Eat food, poo it out, stick it on a cone?

Only IKEA would think of that!

That phrase having your cake and eating it doesn't make sense, should be have eaten your cake and still have it.

gallag

There are traces of every thing in everything, the smaller you look the more you find, your food like everything has radiation nevermind poo partials. Call me if there is more than 0.00000001% poo and ill care. Seriously, contamination in a food factory can be from a farmer spreading slurry miles away and a million other ways

This is underappreciated.


I read somewhere that there are an average of 14 different people's urine in the average bar counter's bowl of peanuts.

Ikea's meatballs are made from pork and beef (and probably faeces), which should be enough to put any right thinking person off any of their food anyway.

Never been in a pub in Ireland with free peanuts and if there are, no suprise you'd have urine in them as most blokes don't wash their hands.

Why were they testing for poopy?

Unfortunately it is not in other countries where it is cheaper to produce goods.

That's probably because of the sh1t they found in ice cream here years ago.

Every bar in the US and most in continental Europe have them. You have been warned.

I wonder if the person in the lab had just went to the toilet before doing the test

There is faecal coliform bacteria everywhere. It's in the air your breathing, it's on your hands and clothes and desk. It gets aeresolised when the toilet is flushed, and then wafts around on air currents.

It's grand though. Like I said, it's everywhere and 99.999999999999% of the time it does no harm at all.

People leave their toothbrushes in the bathroom without a second thought, and its covered in spores every time you put it in your mouth.

It wouldn't matter too much more if you kept it in a cupboard in the kitchen. Unless you're sterilising it your toothbrush is probably one of the mankiest, most bacteria laden, things in your house.

I always imagined this saying was about getting everything your own way...so you have your cake...and you actually get to eat it as well.... lucky sod.

So in that example (if its true) then it would make perfect sense.

It's been explained to me as you can't 'have' your cake (meaning to eat it), and still have it to eat it.

The whole phrase is backward though, it should be 'You can't eat your cake, and have it'.

Adding 'still' in there, for me, would be the crucial change needed to clear it all up.

Ikea officials have since pointed that the bacteria was not healthy

"We now know that it’s a coliform bacteria that’s not dangerous to people’s health, not as with E. Coli or anything similar," Sara Paulsson of Ikea told the TT news agency.

"But we’ll never know exactly which bacteria it is because the cakes have been destroyed."

I'm confused.

I didn't say people in the factories were crapping on cakes, or it came from their hands. The ingredients can be contaminated before getting to the factory, a program was on saying the leave some sun dried bananas out in the open with rats & birds about.

It reduces contamination to acceptable levels. Antibacterials will get kill over 99% of pretty much everything on your hands. Given that millions of bacteria will cover your hands alone at a given time, that means you'll never get them all. Not to mention the millions on your face, arms, hair, in your mouth... And of course bacteria are good at adapting and surviving. Even massive doses of radiation won't guarantee you got them all.

Sterility is an unattainable ideal. Best we can do is aim for a really low probability of a viable bacterium existing in something, be that a cake or a medical device like a catheter, drip solution, or hip replacement. 1 viable cell in a million tins of beans is doing really quite well, or maybe ten million for sensitive medical goods. That's small comfort to the patient who gets terribly ill from the ten millionth saline pack hooked up to their arm, but in the grand scheme of things a very acceptable loss.

People get sacked for this kind of thing. Companies go to the wall if they get caught out.

This is why documentation is important. If everyone followed the procedures to the letter, then nobody's to blame. If a problem was identified, then maybe someone was at fault. Or maybe the procedures aren't tight enough.

This is hardly a case of someone taking a dump in the cake mix. No need for anyone to overreact.

Most prawns come with the faeces still present (black line running along it), especially in supermarkets and in some restaurants !!

Yet most people either don't realise or happily eat it anyway. :eek:
