(b) His complete ignorance of the Food Hygiene Regulations.
(c) The generally poor standard of hygiene throughout the establishment
filthy sinks, lack of clean as opposed to soiled and grimy towels, absence
of soap etc.
Remarks:
In all probability the boy of fifteen was already infected with
Salmonella typhi-murium when he began his apprenticeship at the Bakery.
He was certainly responsible for preparing many of the cream and jam
pastries and doughnuts which were either bought on the premises or sent
out to other branches in the district.
Twelve children at a School for Cripples and one nurse, were found
to have Salmonella typhi-murium. Only five of the former had symptoms,
the nurse was symptom-free. Whilst the school was not supplied with
cakes from the Bakery,they did supply the bread eaten by the staff and
patients. Hence, although it cannot be readily established that the
bread was infected, it is easy enough to assume that it was. It might
have been contaminated with floury dusts from trays which had been used
for infected pastries, or alternatively, a bread slicer or packer
may have had a fleeting infection which was not detected at the stage
of investigation.
