The bug which caused a group of Leicester City Council health inspectors to fall ill following a night out at a popular Indian restaurant has been identified as salmonella.
Leicester City Council’s food safety team took 49 samples from the kitchen at Kayal, in Granby Street, Leicester, after 19 people reported feeling poorly after eating there, over a two-week period this month.
The popular restaurant, which has only ever had five star health and safety ratings in the past, closed immediately pending an investigation.
