A 30-year-old Israeli man has been arrested for allegedly contaminating 40,000 litres of milk on a mid Canterbury dairy farm.
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]The man, in New Zealand on a work permit, was arrested on a charge of contaminating food, crops, water or other product intended for human consumption after antibiotics were detected in a sample taken from the milk silo on the property last week. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]Samples are routinely taken when milk is collected by tankers. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]Constable Gary McIntyre of Ashburton police said the charge had been introduced with the Crimes Amendment Act 2003 and it was possible this was the first time anyone had been charged with the offence. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]If he is found guilty, the man could face a sentence of up to 10 years' jail. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]Mr McIntyre said the farmer was also penalised through receiving a downgrade on his milk, which lessened his payout. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]Fonterra media communications officer John Redwood said the company had a thorough testing process and the contaminated milk would have been detected on site.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]He said it was an unusual case and he had not heard of any other incidences of deliberate contamination of milk. [/color][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif][size=2][color=#000000]The man is scheduled to appear in Ashburton District Court on January 31. [/color][/size][/font]

There appears to be a suspicious lack of details in my opinion.
