Four children suffered potentially life-threatening kidney failure after an E. coli outbreak at a Lancashire farm shop, a court heard.
Huntley’s Country Stores, near Preston, admitted health and safety breaches at a lambing event in April 2014.
The four children needed life-saving kidney dialysis with one needing three operations and blood transfusions.
The farming attraction was fined £60,000 and told to pay £60,000 costs at Preston Crown Court on Monday.
In total, 15 people were struck down by the bug – 13 of them children – with nine needing hospital treatment. A further 15 possible cases were also recorded.
