School lunch provider cleared of mouldy lunch mix up

From Checkpoint, 5:25 pm today

The food safety watchdog is recommending better traceability of delivered meals and better management of left over food following an investigation into how mouldy rancid lunches were served to students at a Christchurch school. A report by New Zealand Food safety has found there is no wider food safety issue with the provider, the School Lunch Collective, and that the meals had likely been left at the school the week prior and mistakenly given to students. Food Safety Deputy Director-General Vincent Arbuckle spoke to Lisa Owen.
