Extracts:

"Trading standards investigators found scallops, tiger prawns and exotic parrot fish crawling with maggots and partly eaten by rats at Allan Rich Seafoods' depot in Lincoln.

The company supplies products to some of London's top restaurants.

The food destruction order granted at Lincoln Magistrates' Court is biggest of its kind ever imposed in England.

Now a major search has been launched by trading standards officials to track down and recall all remaining products supplied by the company."
