FOOD hygiene standards at 10 motorway service stations in the south are so poor hungry travellers are at risk of getting ill and even contracting the potentially fatal E coli infection.
Recent inspection reports of rest stops around the south east of Britain have revealed that 10 locations have failed to achieve a “good” hygiene ranking and in some cases could be making punters sick.
At South Mimms services on the M25 in Hertfordshire the conditions were so bad that inspectors said customers of healthy eating food chain Tossed were at risk of getting the bacterial infection E.coli – which can cause severe stomach pain, diarrhoea and in rare cases kidney failure and death.
