It’s ironical that food safety meetings often feature meals of risky foods – like the bowl of raw sprouts in Taiwan last month.

But enacting scientific knowledge in a public setting makes people squirm. Especially if you’re a polite Canadian.

Didn’t work out so well for 10 public health inspectors in the UK after four of them fell ill after a night out.

The south Indian restaurant has been closed until further notice until tests confirm the source of an outbreak which has claimed 19 victims in total.

The restaurant, in Leicester, has received five-star ratings in its last three council inspections – the most recent of which was just last month. It has also won awards for its service and standards and has featured on Hairy Bikers’ Best Of British BBC2 show.

I have no idea what the Hairy Bikers show is, but from the title, I can imagine myself yelling at the TV, get a muffler.
