Going to the butcher as a kid and getting a free saveloy is now a thing of the past.
New Zealand children’s favourite party food, cheerios or saveloy’s, have been causing some upset — some upset stomachs.
Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Ramon Pink said cheerios that had not been cooked thoroughly were to blame.
Dr Pink said the cocktail sausages (cheerios or saveloys) should no longer be offered cold to children.
An investigation by Canterbury District Health Board’s Community and Public Health division has found six children under five in the South Christchurch area had been affected by an infection called yersiniosis, which is caused by the uncooked cocktail sausages.
