UK -Scotland -Cheesemaker at centre of E.coli probe goes to court to fight ban

Herald Scotland

ONE of Scotland’s leading cheesemakers has pinned his hopes on legal action to keep his business open after it was caught up in an E.coli outbreak.

Humphrey Errington is seeking a judicial review to prevent Food Standards Scotland (FSS) from destroying all his stocks of Dunsyre Blue, which it claims lay behind the outbreak that affected 22 people and led to the death of a three-year-old girl.

Mr Errington said that unless the court rules in his favour his Lanarkshire firm Errington Cheese is “finished” and will have to close.
