If the symptoms can take over 70 days to appear, how would anyone know to link this to the meat Also, the symptoms seem pretty vague. There could have been a lot more deaths that weren't even linked.

If that is true then management should be prosecuted on the grounds of wilful negligence, leading to x amount of deaths.
