The Italian government has recalled from sale the mozzarella cheese linked to dioxin contamination.

Italy’s health ministry said the affected cheese came from 25 producers in the Campania region near Naples, where buffalo mozzarella is made.

France has now lifted a ban on sales of Italian buffalo mozzarella. In the UK, officials said there was no immediate risk to consumers.

The European Commission says it is “satisfied” with Italy’s measures.
