New Zealand – Pizza Hut asks customer for medical certificate to prove food poisoning

Stuff

A Pizza Hut store requested a medical certificate from a customer who claimed he got food poisoning after eating there.

Māngere resident Paul Vee ordered a roast chicken and herb pizza, and a meaty italian pizza at the Pizza Hut store in Ōtāhuhu’s Bairds Rd on February 14.

But after a couple of hours, he said he and his flatmates started getting stomach cramps. Vee claimed they hadn’t eaten anything else that day.

“I knew straight away it was the pizza. So I lodged a complaint the next day,” he said.

My View

This is interesting but as we all know quite often food poisoning doesn’t only happen a few hours after eating a particular food. Without knowing the causative agent it may prove difficult to check where or what the cause of the illness was. It is not quite as simple as the last thing you ate!
