AUSTRALIA: Just say sorry, says victim - (Tasmania Mercury)
February 7, 2008 – 4:46 pmA 66-year-old Hobart man who has been hospitalised for almost a fortnight — and remains in hospital — with salmonella has told of his horror and called for a public apology from the Venus cafe at Rosny Park that served him infected food.
The man was cited as saying there had been at least nine other patients suffering from salmonella in recent days and many blamed food from Venus.
They are among 75 Tasmanians who have reported having gastro symptoms after eating contaminated food last month. Most of those were infected after eating at funerals at Millingtons in Mornington, which has food supplied by a local catering company.
The funerals were held on Thursday, January 24, and Friday, January 25 the same time the 66-year-old became ill.
