Food chain at risk of being poisoned by terrorist groups


Food and drink sold in Britain is under a growing threat from terrorist groups which might try to poison supplies, the Government’s security advisers have warned.

Manufacturers and retailers have been told that their sector is vulnerable to attacks by ideologically and politically motivated groups that may seek to cause widespread casualties and disruption by poisoning food supplies.

The warning from the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure [CPNI], which operates as part of the Security Service, comes as experts warned the deadly E.coli outbreak in Germany has highlighted the vulnerability of the food chain and how quickly bacteria can spread.

The highly virulent strain has claimed 18 lives and left more than 1,800 seriously ill, with the true number of cases expected to be far higher.
A senior German doctor last night called for an investigation into the possibility that the bacteria had been spread deliberately.

Exactly how worried should the Joe public be of this, probably the majority will be complacent until it becomes more widespread and also evidence to prove foul play

Makes you wonder how much of the food we buy can be 100% guaranteed safe!!!
 
no point actually worrying about your food you can do very little or nowt about it
as most food be 100% safe but it only takes a nutter to cause a scare

but if we are honest it will take several hundred people " contaminating" supplies to actually reach even 0.001 percent off supplies

No, you said that. And it was a JOKE, although it may have gone over your head.

But, yes, it is sad that TB was under control in the UK, but now it is increasingly prevelant in areas with large concentrations of third world immigrants. Fact: London, Leicester, Birmingham, Leeds. (Sorry if introducing facts is unpleasant for you) Unfortunately, they bring their conflicts, habits and diseases to these shores.

No , YOU said that and I didn't think you were being very funny.
TB is usually found in poverty stricken areas and places where lots of people congregate , such as city's. The problem is that holiday makers , business travellers etc etc can take TB into our country, not just immigrants.
