Wales: Details of Food Hygiene Failures of Two Michelin Star Restaurant – “Ynyshir” – That Charges Over £400 Per 30-Course Dinner! (12.2.2026)

In January a spokesman said: “At Ynyshir, we take food safety and hygiene extremely seriously and are committed to maintaining the highest possible standards for our guests.

“Following a recent routine inspection by the local authority, a number of administrative and procedural actions were identified for improvement. We take this outcome seriously and have already addressed these points in full. We are currently working closely and cooperatively with Environmental Health and have requested an early reinspection in line with the council’s guidance.

“Ynyshir operates with cooking techniques and processes heavily influenced by Japanese ingredients and methodologies. This approach involves specialised preparation and handling practices that differ from conventional kitchen operations. We operate at the highest professional level and are proud to work with some of the finest suppliers and ingredients from across the globe.

“We remain fully confident in our processes, our team, and the safety of our operation.

“As always, our focus is on delivering an exceptional and safe dining experience for every guest who visits us.”

Bizarrely - the Religionist Gregor Mendel - Advanced Genetic Science!

“This is a joint effort,” Cheng said. “Phenotyping data were collected both from the UK and China, and we employed a multi-disciplinary approach.”

“Mendel discovered what we now call the laws of inheritance without knowing what a gene was,” said Cheng. “Today, using modern tools, we can see the exact genes — and the precise mutations — that he unknowingly tracked.”

Among the most striking findings, researchers discovered that the mutations underlying Mendel’s traits span a wide range, underscoring the complexity behind what once appeared to be simple hereditary patterns.

“Most of these mutations cause loss-of-function changes, which provide a clear molecular explanation for the dominant and recessive inheritance Mendel observed,” Cheng said.

The study also identified previously unknown genetic elements, including a natural flower color revertant and a modifier gene known as Mfa, which suppresses fasciation — a trait causing abnormal floral growth. These discoveries reveal hidden layers of genetic complexity in the pea plant.
