New photo Winter vomiting bug Norovirus could be lurking ‘within the fruit and veg’ in British shops

The winter vomiting bug norovirus could be lurking in fruit and vegetables sold in British shops, it’s claimed.

One in every 20 lettuces and one in every 27 packs of frozen raspberries contain the bug – sparking concern it may be present in many other fresh foods, The Sunday Times reported.

Scientists claim the research, carried out by the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA), shows a lack of hygiene by food suppliers and retailers.

The findings could also explain why norovirus, spread by human waste, is Britain’s most common food poisoning bug.

It attacks about three million people every year and kills up to 300.

In February, 817 NHS beds a day were shut in just one week amid rising cases of the virus.

The FSA has already pinpointed shellfish like oysters as a key source of the bug. It says this research is part of a wider study into where it comes from and how it is spread.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
