Taiwan – Victims of banh mi food poisoning in northern Taiwan reach 520
As of 10 p.m. on Tuesday (Aug. 8), the incident had sickened 520 people, with 41 hospitalized. The Food and Drug Administration will mount an inspection campaign targeting stalls and eateries selling exotic cuisines.
Among those feeling unwell after consuming food from the stall, 354 sought medical help and 32 were hospitalized, as of Monday (Aug. 7). Symptoms reported include diarrhea, stomach pain and cramps, fever, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
A task force has been formed to deal with the case, said the Department of Public Health of the northern city in Taiwan.
A preliminary investigation found seven out of 21 samples from the stall tested positive for Salmonella bacteria. More examinations are being conducted to identify the source of infection.
Inspectors said the eggs used to make mayonnaise had not been fully cleaned and the mayo products prepared in advance were not properly refrigerated when delivered to the stall. Salmonella infections have been a major cause of food poisoning events in Taiwan over recent years, according to the health agency.
