E.coli butcher hid factory filth - (South Wales Echo)

February 14, 2008 – 7:15 pm

A filthy meat slicer, cluttered and dirty chopping areas, and meat more than two years out of date piled in a freezer.
That’s what was found in the factory run by E.coli butcher William Tudor, the public inquiry into the outbreak has heard.
The hearing in Cardiff Bay was also told how Tudor – who lied about receiving awards for good hygiene – ordered his employees not to throw away rotting meat, but to package it and send it out in order to maximise profits.
