Clostridium perfringens behind illness at New Zealand University

Food Safety News

Clostridium perfringens has been confirmed as the cause of more than 100 students falling ill at a university in New Zealand.

Health New Zealand and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) investigated the outbreak among pupils at the University of Canterbury’s University Hall in Christchurch. Students fell ill a few weeks ago during the end-of-year exam period.

Laboratory testing and survey data confirmed New Zealand Food Safety’s theory that the outbreak was likely caused by unsafe preparation of shredded chicken served to students as part of a meal.
