claims of inedible food and rationed loo paper
Some of the food which asylum seekers said they were given as meals in Clearsprings accommodation.
There is evidence of poor nutrition, poor hygiene and rationing of period products and toilet paper at Clearsprings' sites, charities have told us.
Asylum seekers in hotels are provided with three meals a day, but we have heard concerns about the standard of food at Clearsprings' subcontracted accommodation.
"It's just terrible," said an asylum seeker from South America, whom we are calling Andrea. She said she has been living in a hotel for two years with her eight-year-old daughter.
"Some people think we are living in a paradise," she said. "Try to live as an asylum seeker only for one day - the mattresses are dirty, the toilets, everything is dirty, broken."
Food that is past its expiry date is sometimes served, she told us, and meals often lack fruit and vegetables, and contain mainly heavy carbohydrates such as bread, chips and rice.
Andrea said she boils eggs in the kettle in her room, because it is the only way to get some protein for her daughter. She said she also uses a food bank as it is difficult to buy additional food while living on the £9.95 a week she receives from the government.
