Chef Heston Blumenthal has quit his Guardian column weeks after the
paper revealed food hygiene failings at his restaurant on its front

unacceptable levels of bacteria in the kitchens of his restaurant, the
Fat Duck at Bray. It was later given a clean bill of health.
A spokesman for Blumenthal said: “He felt it was time for a change.”
