A care home where residents got food poisoning is facing a criminal investigation. Swansea Council's trading standards team is probing Ashgrove House in Waunarlwydd.
The care home on Swansea Road received a zero-star food hygiene rating following a council inspection in August last year, which found "urgent" improvement to food safety was needed. Shortly after the inspection WalesOnline asked for a copy of the report, but a council spokesman said it could not be released because the home was "subject to a criminal investigation".
Sam Allen, who was general manager at the home last November, told us that month: "I wasn't aware we were under criminal investigation to be honest, I had no idea. The food hygiene issue was the council said we'd had an outbreak of food poisoning, but only a couple of residents had it in a home of 25 residents that ate all the food."
