1 of this list.
2
3 Q. So we have to include listeria and campylobacter amongst
4 your concerns?
5 A. Yes.
6
7 Q. What about the zoonotic diseases, they are not on this
8 list?
9 A. They are not on this list either.
10
11 Q. Can you just say what the ones you have been -- you have
12 got it, I have not got the original-- but I think
13 clostridium, botulinum is one that has been blanked out
14 here?
15 A. Yes, it has been highlighted.
16
17 Q. And also?
18 A. Fusarium.
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You had better tell me where you are. You say
21 "highlighted". I appreciate you have a sense of humour
22 but it is not highlighted on what I have; it is completely
23 obliterated, about as lowlighted as you could possible get,
24 so you have to point out where you are to me.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: Yes. If you look at the list?
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I have that now but help me by saying
29 where you are?
30
31 MR. MORRIS: Near the bottom of the first section.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I have clostridium botulinum.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: Then fusarium is the next one two lines below that.
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: How is that spelt?
38 A. F-U-S-A-R-I-U-M.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: Fusarium, it is actually fusarium penicillin?
41 A. That is the under group, any type of fusarium would be
42 included in that group.
43
44 Q. Are we concerned with that?
45 A. No, we are not concerned with that.
46
47 Q. So of those lists, can you say which ones you would be
48 concerned at, say, Jarretts in terms of what you would be
49 looking for or expecting?
50 A. Well, you would basically be concerned with all the
51 others apart from clostridium botulinum, which is an
52 anaerobic bacterium and it is normally found strictly in
53 completely unanerobic conditions. Basically we are talking
54 about canned food.
55
56 Q. You mentioned listeria and campylobacter. What about the
57 ones below the line which start off with E.coli?
58 A. Well, that group there in the middle, E.coli,
59 klebsiella, streptacoccus, those are bacteria that are used
60 as indicators for faecal contamination, both in water and
