An artisan cheesemaker whose products were removed from sale following a fatal E.coli outbreak has restarted production.
Lanarkshire-based Errington Cheese was found to have "the relevant controls in place" to allow cheese production to start again under a revised system, Scotland's food watchdog said.
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) said that confirmation came from South Lanarkshire Council.
FSS banned the sale of the firm's cheese products in September last year, claiming tests had found strains of E.coli O157.
The cheese producer's Dunsyre Blue had been linked to an E.coli outbreak in the summer in which a three-year-old girl died.
Errington Cheese maintained that there was no link between its produce and the outbreak.
FSS said Errington's new season Lanark Blue cheese has now been put on the market.
It has been produced under a "revised food safety management system", the watchdog said.
