Dubai – Dubai closes restaurant after Salmonella outbreak poisons 15 people

Arabian Business Salmonella Eggs Food Poisoning Food Safety

The Food Safety Department (FSD) ordered the outlet to close and held its chef and person-in-charge (PIC) of food safety responsible for the infection that caused the outbreak, the municipality told Gulf News.

The FSD has downgraded the food safety rating of the outlet and revoked its PIC certificate.

The American food outlet in a Jumeirah mall will be under close monitoring for the next six months and will only be allowed to reopen after taking precautionary safety measures.

The 15 poisoned diners, including a child, were hospitalised with symptoms such as diarrohea, fever and vomiting.

The FSD team traced the infection to raw eggs used in hollandaise sauce, officials said.
