Sandwich bar owners avoid hefty fine over mouldy pasta.
Mr and Mrs K came to Ellis Fermor & Negus when a customer complained that a pasta salad she had bought from their sandwich bar in the city centre was mouldy. The aggrieved customer had taken her pasta to the city council’s environmental health department who suggested the mould had developed over a period of 36 hours.
Our solicitor defended Mr and Mrs K saying that no-one else had complained about the food on that day and that the sandwich bar had been trading for ten years and had not had any previous complaints about the quality of its food. Nor had the complaining customer been injured by the incident as she hadn’t actually eaten the food.
