Rubber gloves, plastic bags and metal ring pulls were found mixed into products destined to be sold by high street restaurants.
CCTV cameras inside the factory showed Jones deliberately tampering with tubs of hummus and salad dressings when he was alone
From October 28 2022, Harvey & Brockless were informed that dozens of their products had been contaminated with items including rubber gloves, plastic bags and metal ring pulls. Harvey & Brockless’s products go through a metal detector before leaving the kitchen area, meaning they could not have been tampered with during the production process and must have been contaminated in the storage area of the factory.Jones raised further alarm when footage showed him mixing an unknown substance into raw ingredients that were to be prepared for production the following day.
He was jailed for 33 months at Worcester Crown Court on Tuesday for contaminating goods and nine months, to run consecutively, for the burglary charge, after earlier pleading guilty to both offences. “The cross-contamination caused alarm both within the company and externally, as Jones’s utter disregard, particularly in mixing fish sauce with raw ingredients, could have threatened serious harm to those with allergies.
