A SUSPECTED mass outbreak of food poisoning at a Chinese restaurant at Wenty Leagues is being investigated by the NSW Food Authority.
Up to 35 patrons – including 10 children – were believed to be struck ill after an evening out in September at the Jasmine Restaurant.
Three of the guests ended up in hospital, including a seven-year-old girl and four-year-old boy, and an adult who tested positive for salmonella.

CASES of salmonella poisoning are at their highest levels in five years, with careless cooking and poor hygiene believed to be behind the increase.
NSW Health’s OzFoodNet report has revealed incidences of the salmonella poisoning are up by 32 per cent compared with the five-year average with 4317 people struck down with the bug in 2014.
Raw eggs, Spanish mackerel, pork liver pate and Vietnamese rolls have been the worst offenders, with late night kebabs and oysters also turning diners into victims.
