Pies, ice cream, pasta cream and a vegan mozzarella are among a fresh list of products recalled due to potential contamination with a pesticide.

It follows a similar list from the health authorities issued last week as the European Commission agreed a mass recall of products.

They all contain an ingredient that has potentially been contaminated with ethylene oxide, a pesticide not permitted for use in foods sold in the EU. 

Although consuming the contaminated product does not pose an immediate risk to health, experts say there is an increased risk if there is continued consumption of this chemical in contaminated foods over time.

The new list of products are:

Confiserie Firenze’s Bisfrolla - torta di pasta frolla farcita con confettura di mora rossa e mirtillo nero, which comes in 500gr packs and its best before date is September 30. The lot number is 1L057.
