Haverigg Enterprises, operated within HMP Haverigg, produces a variety of smoked products with the help of prisoners. Recently, a recall was issued for a specific batch of smoked chicken and smoked peppered chicken sold at the Brampton Farmers’ Market on March 28.
The batch, identified by code 1326 with a best before date of April 4, did not meet the required safety standards. Although no food poisoning cases have been reported, customers are advised to return the products as a precaution.
Details of the Recall
The Brampton Farmers’ Market announced the recall on social media, informing customers that the affected batch fell short of rigorous testing standards. The issue was linked to a minor fault found during equipment testing, which has since been corrected.

Safety Assurance
A spokesperson from the Prison Service confirmed that the recall was due to the products not meeting usual safety standards. They reassured the public that other batches were unaffected by the issue.
Role of Haverigg Enterprises
Haverigg Enterprises operates within the prison, involving inmates in the production of smoked food items. The recall highlights the organisation’s commitment to maintaining safety standards despite the recent fault.
