(ANSA) - Rome, July 29 - After 'blue mozzarella' sparked a major health scare in Italy last month, a new alarm has been stirred by the case of some red ricotta cheese.
The red ricotta was discovered by a 33-year-old housewife from the Sardinian town of Olbia on Tuesday after she had bought the packet the day before at a discount supermarket.
''It was covered in a pinky-red mould-like film,'' the woman, who preferred not to be named and is especially careful about what she eats as she is seven-months pregnant, told ANSA.
