Just when everyone was ready to heave a sigh of relief after the horsemeat scandal that has rocked the global food industry, another seems to have surfaced, with ripple effects felt in the UAE as well.

Swedish furniture giant Ikea has withdrawn a batch of its chocolate almond and butterscotch cakes across 23 countries after it was found to contain sewage bacteria.

The UAE is one of the 23 countries mentioned in the recall.

The traces of coliform bacteria under investigation in the suspected batch can be found in soil, vegetation, water, as well as in the faeces of humans and warm-blooded animals.

Wait..isn't the Daim cake also referred to as "Almondy cake"?? All of a sudden I seem to have lost my appetite for em now!

After all these years of awaiting IKEA's grand opening, reading such news is truly disturbing indeed. I mean containing sewage bacteria?? Yuck! How on earth did that happen? *shudders*

Curious to see the level and nature of damage control the heads of IKEA will have to now come up with to restore consumer confidence!
