I have spoken today with the food safety team at lewisham and in particular to the lady who visited il merto on the 22nd June ,I also have the correspondence that followed that visit,firstly the food safety team have no concerns at all about the quality of the ice cream and have never inferred that it was only powder and water,the wording on the correspondence says because the ice cream made on your premises is using a dried ice cream base mix,the ice cream cannot ACCURATELY be described as homemade,that's all there is to it,a tirade of abuse about one simple word,stop the world and let me get off
Finally I have to say that the guys at il merto have been exemplary throughout this very difficult time for them and have never spoken badly about anyone or posted anything on here or other sites and have painted out the the life changing word of homemade 4 weeks before the deadline
