    Man nearly died after eating poison meatballs

    In short, a butcher's helper mixed an illegally high dose of Sodium Nitrate in with the meatball mix and a man nearly died from eating them. Reason for the mistake? Thought that the preservative (labeled 'Poison')was flavouring and didn't know what 'Poison' meant.

    Am I naive to think that the language tests to get into the country would include important words like 'Poison'?

    Just as long as they can read "Labour" on a voting paper, they will get in! That's the minimum requirement today.

    Or to think that one shouldn't put bags maked 'Poison' beside bags of flavouring? :slap:

    ""A bag of nitrite powder labelled 'poison' was kept alongside the bag of flavouring powder," the man's doctors and a public health officer, Dr Greg Simmons, said in the journal."

    The shop owner, who was prosecuted, claimed he was innocent because "he didn't do it"....
    However allowing a situation to arise on his business premises (hiring NESB staff using these components which are labelled in English) negates his argument. Surely?

    Who the hell buys ready-made meatballs anyway? Any moron can make meatballs themselves.
