Petting farms need to improve

More need to be done to protect children and visitors to Petting Farms is the conclusion of a panel investigating the largest farm outbreak of E-Coli 

The investigation concluded public safety had been "neglected" as better procedures at the farm may have stopped the outbreak, while quicker action by health officials could have limited it.

The panel, led by University of London infection expert Professor George Griffin, said safety measures on the farm were "inadequate" as they primarily relied on visitors washing their hands.  For more on this story see the BBC website.
