Baby food 'may have caused vCJD'

Dec 18 2009

The first victim of a variant strain of CJD could have caught the disease from eating infected baby food as a child, his father has said.

Grant Goodwin, 30, from Hamilton in Lanarkshire, died in January after experiencing personality change, memory loss, unsteadiness and visual hallucinations.

He was the first person of his gene type to die of variant CJD.
