The owners of a kebab shop in Wales gave more than 50 of their customers food poisoning, with 11 of them being hospitalised, after serving contaminated food.
The outbreak happened in February 2023 when customers ate food contaminated with shigella bacteria at Abergavenny’s Marmaris Kebab House in Wales.
Shigella bacteria is extremely contagious and is spread when a person swallows a small amount of it from the stool of someone who is infected. For example, someone may contract shigella if they eat food prepared by someone who has it and didn’t wash their hands.
