«Breaking News» Norovirus found in fruit and vegetables in British supermarkets

Vegetables sold in British supermarkets are riddled with the deadly norovirus, food safety experts have found.  

The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) researchers discovered that one lettuce in every 20 contained the vomiting virus.

The bug - spread by human waste - was also detected in one in every 27 bags of frozen raspberries.

Experts warned that many more fresh foods may be harbouring the norovirus, which has become Britain's most common food poisoning bug.

About 3million people are infected by the virus every year, many of whom are children. 

It can be deadly in very young and elderly people, as well as those with weakened immune systems. Each year it claims up to 300 victims.   

'One should not expect to find a norovirus in one's lettuce or raspberry,' scientists told The Sunday Times, suggesting serious negligence on behalf of the suppliers.

'When the virus is detected it is clear that guidance [on food hygiene] is not being adhered to and that in consequence the pathogen is entering the food supply chain.'

The researchers tested 568 lettuces - mostly grown in Britain - and found norovirus in 30 of them.

Seven out of 310 batches of fresh raspberries and 10 out of 274 samples of frozen raspberries also tested positive for the bug.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
