THE takeaway at the centre of the latest E.coli outbreak was awarded no stars in its last hygiene inspection, reports Wales Online.
The Llay Fish Bar in Wrexham was allowed to continue trading even though environmental health inspectors found poor hygiene conditions at the business.
The inspection report, dated August 13, 2008, also noted that there was “some major non-compliance with food legislation”.
No stars is the lowest hygiene score that a food business can be awarded.
Details of Llay Fish Bar’s hygiene record come as Karen Morrisroe-Clutton and a three-year-old girl remain seriously ill in hospital after contracting E.coli O157.
The National Public Health Service for Wales is investigating four cases of E.coli O157 and the Llay Fish Bar has been shut down by Wrexham Council officials.
