Fire watch officer Dean Thornton told FoodManufacture.co.uk that the pallet of noodles which self-combusted in a food factory last month was not a freak one-off event.
Thornton warned the incident at an ethnic food factory in Leicester could have developed into a life-threatening blaze if smoke alarms had not gone off, allowing fire fighters to tackle the fire before it escalated.
The incident happened at 3am on Monday August 20 when a pallet of noodles began smouldering at Cofreshs 24,386m2
