A child who died after contracting E Coli in an outbreak in July was a three-year-old girl from Dunbartonshire.

The Crown Office has confirmed it is investigating the death of the child, who was among twenty people across the country who fell ill with the same strain of E Coli O157.

Of these twenty, eleven required hospital treatment.

The outbreak prompted a Health Protection Scotland investigation and was linked to batches of Dunsyre Blue cheese produced by Lanarkshire-based Errington Cheeses Ltd.

Errington Cheese Ltd issued a "precautionary recall" of of a third batch of Dunsyre Blue on Thursday over fears it may contain shiga toxin-producing E Coli.

A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal has received a report in connection with the death of a 3-year-old girl in Dunbartonshire on September 2 2016.

"The investigation into the death, under the direction of Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit (SFIU), is ongoing and the family will continue to be kept updated in relation to any significant developments."

The affected dates are batches of E24 Dunsyre Blue with best before dates between 18/09/2016 to 18/10/2016, and batches of E24 Dunsyre Baby with best before dates between 21/09/2016 to 11/10/2016.

After Thursday's recall, Food Standards Scotland recommended that consumers not eat Dunsyre cheeses they have purchased if they are not clear on its batch details.

A spokesperson said: "FSS believes that this precautionary recall is a responsible action by Errington Cheese Ltd that we believe to be in the best interests of consumers to protect them from potential risks to public health.

"This product is mainly supplied to hotels, restaurants, specialist cheese shops and delicatessens

"If you have purchased this product with the batch number above or if you have purchased it from a delicatessen and do not have batch information, do not eat it.

"Instead, return it to either Errington Cheese Ltd or the store from where it was purchased."
