Polish food recalled over road salt

Polish health authorities have ordered the withdrawal from the market of more than 230,000 kilograms of food suspected of containing industrial salt, the latest development in a scandal raising fears about food safety.

Recalled foods include meats, breads and pickled vegetables. Revelations that industrial salt was sold to food producers have prompted authorities to open a criminal investigation and arrest five people. The industrial salt was intended for deicing roads in winter.
