Maesteg pub lunch leaves 43 sick—what went wrong?

A Sunday meal at the Corner House Inn in Llangynwyd turned into a nightmare for 43 locals, who were hit with severe stomach issues just hours after dining. Health officials quickly traced the outbreak to Clostridium perfringens, a foodborne bacterium that thrives when cooked meats aren’t kept hot enough or cooled properly. The pub’s team worked closely with investigators, and the kitchen has since tightened up food safety practices. This incident really highlights how even our favorite spots can slip up during busy times. Have you ever had a similar experience, or do you check hygiene ratings before eating out? Let’s talk food safety! #Health #BodyHealth #Maesteg
