More than 220 people became ill with gastroenteritis from salmonella after eating at the Bottle of Milk restaurant in Torquay, and a handful of others suffered the same fate after dining at St Kilda’s Newmarket hotel. 

Victorians have been warned of the higher risk of eating raw or undercooked eggs.
Health authorities have linked two restaurants to raw-egg foods using products from western Victorian supplier Green Eggs. The Department of Environment and Primary Industries has restricted the sale of eggs from the Green Eggs farm near Ararat until extra cleaning and hygiene measures are taken.
There have been other isolated cases, and people affected have ranged in age from nine months to more than 65 years.
