TASMANIA: Food poisoning at funeral - (Tasmania Mercury/ABC News Online (Australia))
January 31, 2008 – 7:03 pmDozens of mourners have, according to these stories, been struck down with Salmonella after eating contaminated sandwiches at two separate funerals late last week.
The stories say at least 27 people in Hobart have been ill with diarrhoea, vomiting and fever over the past few days and at least two have been hospitalised.
They all became sick after eating sandwiches at Millingtons funeral services at Mornington , on Hobart’s Eastern Shore, on Thursday and Friday.
The food was provided by a catering business which has been temporarily closed down while the Health Department investigates.
Dr. Roscoe Taylor, Tasmania’s Director of Public Health, was quoted as saying, “We are looking closely at a product containing raw eggs, which was a mayonnaise like ingredient that may have been in the sandwiches and we’re waiting on sampling test results on that to come back.”
