Food poisoning claims sixth life
The food poisoning epidemic in central Scotland claimed a sixth life yesterday as it was alleged that the butcher blamed for the incident sold cooked meat for a private function the day after he was told about the outbreak.
Lanarkshire Health Board said John Barr, whose Wishaw shop has been linked to the E coli epidemic, supplied cold turkey, ham and beef on Nov 23. The meat was eaten in sandwiches at an 18th birthday party attended by 106 people in a public house at Coltness, Wishaw.
