UK – Scotland- Errington cheese ‘was no E coli risk’

The Times

Cheese produced by a company linked to an E. coli outbreak that killed a three-year-old child did not present a significant risk to health, a court was told.

Richard North, a food safety consultant, said evidence relied upon to show that Errington Cheese’s products contained harmful levels of the bacteria was “flawed”.

The company was linked to a food poisoning outbreak in 2016 in which the girl from Dunbartonshire died and several other consumers were made ill.
