AUSTRALIA: Salmonella scare linked to raw eggs - (Sydney Morning Herald)
December 27, 2007 – 6:17 pmNo doubt the dinner party of 35 at Wagga Wagga had looked forward to the fried ice-cream dessert - until the raw egg batter gave them all food poisoning and the host was left with egg on her face.
Now NSW Health and the NSW Food Authority have the difficult task of trying to track down the poultry culprits - possibly from a large Victorian producer - and are investigating whether the incident and three others in Sydney affecting 25 more people are all linked.
Peter Sutherland, director of food safety programs at the NSW Food Authority, was quoted as saying yesterday that, “In terms of cases of salmonella from home preparation using raw eggs, we’ve had four times the year’s average in the past six weeks.”
