Australia: Queensland salmonella outbreak

09.01.2015

Up to 110 people have been stricken with what appears to be Salmonella food poisoning in a town south of Brisbane, Australia. Eggs used in deep-fried ice cream batter have been blamed for a Queensland food poisoning outbreak that left 110 people violently ill.
Tests conducted at Chin Chin Chinese Restaurant returned positive for salmonella, it is believed that raw eggs were to blame.
The popular family restaurant located in Springwood was slapped with a temporary closure by Logan City Council as victims continue to come forward, with cases almost doubling overnight.
So far, 110 people who dined at Chin Chin on Saturday and Sunday nights have reported falling ill.
