Irish meat plant linked to FINNISH salmonella cases - (Herald.ie)
August 15, 2008 – 6:41 pmA salmonella outbreak in Finland is the latest to have a possible link to a meat plant in Co Kildare.
Countries across the EU have been put on high alert after the Nordic country became the third to confirm cases of salmonella agona.
At least 119 are now believed to have been infected by the bacteria, which may be caused by contaminated meat products made at a Dawn Farm Foods plant in Naas.
