"  Restaurants in one area of the U.S., New York City, are typically slapped with an unfavorable C or even D letter grade for violating health code laws. But a kebab shop owner in the UK was actually sentenced to jail time for lack of proper hygiene in his restaurant. According to Wales Online, nine customers contracted E. coli in last August 2012 after eating at Adonis Kebab House in Cardiff, Wales. The owner, Diar Wali Ali, was later charged with 23 hygiene violations. It was revealed that raw meat and ready foods were kept next to one another and there weren&amp;#039;t provisions for staff to wash their hands separate from the food and dishes. The victims who were sickened by the restaurant&amp;#039;s food didn&amp;#039;t even eat the same meals, meaning that many it wasn&amp;#039;t just a one-time incident.

Staff went so far as &amp;quot;cleaning&amp;quot; the restaurant&amp;#039;s utensils by deep-frying them instead of using soap.
