Chris Lynch: Christchurch mouldy lunches investigation traced to meals left at school says investigation

A New Zealand Food Safety full investigation into the mouldy lunch scandal at Haeata Community Campus has found the problem has come from meals left onsite rather than any wider failure in the School Lunch Collective.

Chris Lynch: Food Safety pushes back again after principal disputed cause of mouldy lunches

New Zealand Food Safety has issued a new statement on the mouldy lunches at Haeata Community Campus, reiterating that the evidence points to a human error at the school as the most likely cause.

New Zealand Food Safety is a unit of the Ministry for Primary Industries.

The follow up statement has been released after the school’s principal continued to publicly suggest the problem lay with the provider, appearing on multiple media outlets this morning.
