Two brothers from Dewsbury have received a 12-month community order and hefty fine after selling counterfeit cranberry sauce. They both pleaded guilty to offences under the Trade Marks Act 1994 and several food hygiene offences, including failing to register a food business.

Mr Irfan Hanif Patel, aged 41, of Ravensthorpe Road, Dewsbury, will serve 120 hours of unpaid work, and Mr Mohammed Patel, aged 31, of Thornhill Street, Dewsbury, will serve 100 hours of unpaid work after being jointly prosecuted by West Yorkshire Trading Standards and Kirklees Council.

The pair sold 1,000 jars of Cranberry Sauce to a wholesaler who distributed the jars to businesses around the country. The cranberry sauce was falsely labelled as ‘Abel and Cole’, which is an existing legitimate cranberry sauce supplier.
