A former shop owner whose sandwiches gave 47 West Midlands Police officers food poisoning has been given a four-month suspended jail sentence.



Muriel Morris, 70, of Great Barr, Birmingham, pleaded guilty to four counts of breaking food hygiene laws at Birmingham Magistrates' Court.



Nine of the officers were taken to hospital after eating the sandwiches at a protest briefing on 4 July, 2009.

The food was from Meal Machine Cafe, Nechelles, which Morris no longer runs.



The magistrates ordered her to pay £16,482.70 in legal costs.



Morris, of Dorrington Green, was also ordered by magistrates on Monday to obey a night-time curfew for one month.



Birmingham City Council, which brought the prosecution, said one of the offences related to the sandwiches and tinned tuna being unfit for human consumption, due to the presence of Staphylococcus aureus organisms.

No 1, you say she poisons, are you suggesting it was on purpose? if so where is the evidence for that? or is it just a case of poor hygiene standards.
