Home Office contractor gives children hotel food containing worms

Family accommodated in a Midlands hotel were sick after eating meal provided by Serco

Children at a Home Office hotel unwittingly ate worms that were in food provided to them by government contractors, the Guardian has learned.

A four-year-old boy, not realising that his meal of fish and chips contained worms, began vomiting soon after he started to eat it. Paramedics were called and the boy was taken to hospital.
