The Telegraph reports this morning that around 130 people have fallen ill with the same strain of Salmonella linked to poultry and eggs since August across England and Wales

Five outbreaks have been linked to oriental restaurants, three to other restaurants and one was in a care home.

Two people with the infection died in the care home, which has not been named by officials, but post mortem results have proved inconclusive about the cause of death.

Three other people have been treated in hospital, a report from the Health Protection Agency said.
