A butcher, who supplied schools with meat infected with a deadly strain of the E.coli bug was jailed today.
William John Tudor, 55, of Clemenstone, Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, was given a 12-month prison sentence after admitting six counts of placing unsafe food on the market and one count of failing, as proprietor of a business, to protect food against the risk of contamination.
Mason Jones, a five-year-old pupil of Deri Primary School, near Bargoed, died after contracting the 0157 strain of the bug during what Cardiff Crown Court heard was the second largest outbreak of E.coli in the UK.
