South Wales Echo is reporting that the factory run by E.coli butcher William Tudor contained a filthy meat slicer, cluttered and dirty chopping areas, and meat more than two years out of date piled in a freezer.

Professor Chris Griffith, head of the food research and consultancy unit at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, told the inquiry the culture at the premises was “dominated by saving money.”

His report also included statements from those who worked at the factory, who reported that a cling film machine stored in the toilets was used to wrap faggots in the cooked meat area and that rotting meat and maggots were found in drains.

Staff also said Tudor encouraged them to continue preparing meat for delivery to schools even when they were suffering from sickness and diarrhoea.
