Food Standards Agency welcomes recommendations arising from Mason Jones inquest

It is impossible to talk about E. Coli 0157 outbreaks without thinking of the devastaing personal consequences for some families. About 160 people became ill in the 2005 E.Col 0157 outbreak. As a result, William John Tudor of John Tudor & Son, Bridgend, was jailed for a year at Cardiff Crown Court after pleading guilty to seven offences relating to the supply of meat contaminated with E.coli O157 to schools.

The Food Standards Agency has issued a press statement welcoming the recommendations made by the coroner at the inquest into the tragic death of Mason Jones, the five-year-old boy who died in the E.coli outbreak in south Wales in 2005. The coroner has recommended stronger enforcement of food hygiene laws.
