A cook has been jailed for three months for risking the lives of five women who became sick with Salmonella poisoning after serving them a salmonella contaminated chocolate mousse at a dinner cruise.
A few hours after the dinner party, on a floating restaurant at Dubai Marina five women (a Syrian, an Egyptian, two Filipinas and an Indian) were said to have been rushed to different hospitals suffering from abdominal cramps, high fever and persistent diarrhoea.
Dubai Municipality’s inspector testified to prosecutors that the chocolate mousse was unsuitable for human intake because it was infected with salmonella. The inspector mentioned in the report that the cook used unpasteurised eggs to make the chocolate mousse.
