Most cases of food poisoning happen when cooking at home, according to Haringey Borough Council.
The authority’s food safety teams, part of the Food Standards Agency, investigated 210 complaints of food poisoning but found no evidence to link them to eating out.
This suggested that most incidents were a result of poor food hygiene while cooking at home.
According to council figures, 40 per cent of the cases were caused by Campylobacter – a bacterium commonly found in raw or undercooked meat, especially poultry, unpasteurised milk, untreated water and domestic pets with diarrhoea.
