Just in time for lunch comes this news story from the UK.
Skelfayre has been fined 16,900 pounds after an investigation discovered that one of their warehouses was infested with rats and maggots, and that rats had gnawed at some of the food and urinated and defecated on some of it as well. In July of last year the food was recalled and destroyed. The food was headed to care homes, which I'm going to assume is what they call nursing facilities in the UK(?).
Oh, there were bird droppings around the food too. Let's get on to better food news, shall we?

The article actually refers to a Welsh company that was supplying schools and care homes in Wales NOT England.
You might want to fix your tags!

That is seriously disturbing considering that bird droppings alone can cause histoplasmosis, cryptococcus, e.coli, and salmonella. Well the good news is that they were caught...right? This is a list of all the diseases people can catch from birds. ickyyyy
