In a prosecution of a person for an offence under section 144, 145, 148, 149, 152 or 153, it is a defence for the person charged to prove, on a balance of probabilities, that the person charged caused the food to which the offence relates to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of immediately after the food was handled in the manner that was likely to render it unsafe or unsuitable or a defined food.
